Frequently Asked Questions

How do swimmers gain access to The Edge facilities?

Swimmers gain access by using their personally allocated swipe card. This must be brought every lesson in order to gain access to the facility.

Are refunds given if a swimmer is ill and cannot attend?

Lessons can be re-credited if proof of illness is produced e.g. Doctors Note. Lessons missed due to illness such as common cold, cannot be.

How quickly will swimmers progress?

All swimmers progress at different speeds. If swimmers have access to swimming outside of lessons, we find progression occurs at an accelerated rate.

The most important factor is that each child learns to swim and enjoys learning to swim.

Can spectators sit on pool side?

Spectators are permitted to sit in the reception area of The Edge facility, unless an arrangement has been made prior to the lesson with Aquatic lead teacher.
