Swim Period Dates and Fees 

                 RKSA has 6 payment dates 'swim periods'.  Five during the school year, and one (1) swim period in the summer. 

Our simplified auto renewal process (via NBC/Team Unify Sports Engine) allows currently enrolled swimmers to keep their same time slot for the upcoming swim period. If YOU decide to drop, at the point we will offer your time slot to another swimmer.  It's super simple to keep swimming all year round - once you get enrolled in a time slot.  The goal of our program is for families to bring all their children at the same time, however when starting initially in the program that is not always possible. Swimmers can move their time slots in a given swim period if an opening occurs.

Drop/Cancellation Policy & Pricing

                               See Options A and B - for Credit or Refund.  We CANNOT offer make-ups for misssed classes.  

A) Credit - to your account, less an adminstrative $20 drop fee per person (with 48 hours notice).  Credit MUST be used within a six month period;  Remember, you are forfeiting the class/time slot.  When you return, you are subject to current openings.  If unsure when you'll be able to return, it's best to take the Refund via your online NBC account.  RKSA is willing to the waive drop fee for extensive medical conditions with proper notice.

MEDICAL SITUATION/EXTENSIVE LEAVES:                                                                                                                                                How do you handle the situation when you want to retain your day/time slot? This is a commonly asked question, as children have accidents/injuries, or families need to suddenly leave town to assist with a family emergency.  If you want to keep the class, you have to pay for the class. You are not credited for any classes as we are holding your time slot.  If the medical situation or absence is long, you have the option to Cancel.  See the cancellation policy above. 

MAKE-UP POLICY:
School Year Policy:  We do not offer make-ups for any reason during the school year. The lower teacher:student ratio is helpful to the swimmers, when other swimmers are absent.  You are paying for a 4:1 ratio in Group Swim Lessons, and often there are not 4 swimmers in attendance.  
Summer Policy:  We do offer one make-up (when possible) in the summer if you swim 1x/week; 2 make-ups if you swim twice a week. During the summer we typically are open two/three mornings a week, so we have the flexibility of scheduling a set make-up day and time.     

Lesson Pricing:  40 minutes lessons 1x week are $19.50 each. $17 each if you attend 2x/week.  There is a $25 annual registration fee for non-FS members.  That helps offset liability insurance and set up fees.

Teacher/Student Ratio:  4:1 - often less because of swimmer's attendance.  When swimmers have to miss class, that only reduces the ratio which is a vital part of progress along w/practice. 

Payment  Late Fees:
THERE IS A $15 LATE FEE FOR PAYMENTS MADE AFTER THE POSTED DUE DATE.  THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!!!!
