Cancellations
- If, for any reason, Lanes Health Clubs needs to cancel your swimming lesson within 24-hours of the scheduled date and time, the lesson will be rearranged.
- If, for any reasons you need to rearrange a swimming lesson you have booked as part of your adult individual lessons (including 2-2-1) you must give us 24 hours’ notice. Failure to do this will result in you forfeiting the lesson which will not be rearranged. You must still complete the lessons within the time stated above.

Refunds

- If your Swim Teacher is away (through holiday, sickness or otherwise) you will be allocated a temporary replacement Swim Teacher for the duration of their absence. Swimming lessons must still be used within their normal validity period during any such absence. We are unable to refund you for the reason of lessons being delivered by a different instructor.
- If your Swim Teacher leaves the company, we will allocate you another Swim Teacher and we will supply them with your swimming lesson history. Refunds will not be provided under these circumstances.
