Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if my child needs to miss a class?
Although we do offer make-up classes for illness and injury, we encourage families to make sure your child gets the most out of their lessons and attend their regularly scheduled class. Students get far more out of their normal lesson than a make-up lesson due to teacher changes as well as the other children in their class. We cannot always guarantee that a make-up class will be available because many of our classes are full.
If it is not possible for your child to make their scheduled class, please notify the swim office at least 1 hour prior to missing the class. If you know you will be absent further ahead of time, please let us know earlier so we can offer that space to another family. All scheduled make-up lessons need to be completed within one calendar year of the missed class. Once a make-up has been scheduled, it may not be re-scheduled for any reason.

What if my child is scared or cries?
Our teachers are all trained in handling these situations. The Deck Supervisor or Manager on Duty can also be helpful and talk to the children about why they are scared or crying. Talking with the child, playing games, singing songs, and playing with toys can all be used to help ease the child into the class. If you need assistance with your child, please let our staff know so we can work with them. We want all children to feel comfortable and happy swimming!

How do I cancel my child’s swim lessons?
Our year round lessons run on a rolling membership, meaning once your child is enrolled, they will swim uninterrupted from month to month. To cancel your child’s rolling swim lessons, a written notice of cancellation must be submitted to your Njswim office no later than the 10th of the month, for the upcoming month (for example by July 10th for August cancellation).
Our Intensive Swim Sessions are offered during seasonal school breaks, including winter, spring and summer. If you need to cancel your child’s intensive swim sessions, notice of cancellation must be submitted to your Njswim office no later than the 10th of the month before the month your session begins (for example by July 10th for any sessions that begin in August).
Notice of cancellation forms can be requested through the office. Or you can submit the form online.
We understand that things do come up and schedules do change. We greatly appreciate the cooperation of our families by adhering to our cancellation guidelines.
Upon re-enrollment, there will be a $25 enrollment fee per family. In an effort to allow us to continue to provide exceptional service, with no long-term commitment, the $25 enrollment fee is applied whenever you re-enroll after being inactive from our programming.
What if Njswim has to cancel a lesson?
If Njswim must cancel a lesson for any reason, we will provide a make-up class. No refunds will be given for cancelled lessons.
