• All private swimming lessons are 30-45 minutes in length and scheduled once or twice per week.  Lessons will only be scheduled more than once per week if the instructor has availability to do so.
• All lessons packages must be paid in full prior to your first lesson taking place.  Lesson registrations must be done online or at the Falcon Center Reception Desk.
• All swimming lesson packages are prepaid and non-refundable for any unused or missed lessons.
• Cancellation of a lesson must be done 12 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment to be eligible for a rescheduled appointment. Otherwise, the lesson will be considered rendered.
• If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson you should contact your swim instructor or Heidi Hormell at Heidi.Hormell@fairmontstate.edu or 304-368-7223.
• Any last minute cancellations or issues after 4:00 p.m. on the day of your lesson should be directed to 304-368-7222 asking to speak with the Supervisor on duty.
• Semi-private lessons are for 2 individuals of similar age or similar ability.  If the instructor deems that the swimmers are to far apart in age or ability to take lessons together the pair may be asked to be split up for the benefit of both the instructor and the students.
• If one student does not show for a scheduled semi-private lesson the lesson is still considered rendered for that individual.
• If a student arrives late for a lesson, it may not be rescheduled or extended based on the instructors availability.
• Inclement weather may cause lessons to become canceled and we will work to reschedule those accordingly and communicate those cancellations as early as possible. 
• Please note there may be events/university closures that cause the facility to postpone lessons (i.e holidays and spring break). This information will be communicated via email and signage in the pool as early as possible.  Lessons will be reschedule accordingly in this instance.
• All lessons are required to be finished prior to the finish of the active semester.
