Payment Information

Payments can be made by either cheque, cash, or e-transfer. If paying by cheque, please make the cheque payable to Benchmark Swim Academy.

We do offer payment plans. For more information please contact Desiree by email benchmarkswimming@gmail.com.

The total amount for lessons must be paid by the first day of swimming lessons. If the payment is not received by the due date, a $20.00 late fee will be charged. For NSF cheques, an additional $25.00 charge will be added to the invoice.

A written request to withdraw from lessons needs to be submitted by email (benchmarkswimming@gmail.com) before the third week (third lesson) of the swimming program.

If the request is submitted before the third week of lessons, a refund minus the applicable charges will be issued.

Applicable charges deducted from the refund include the costs of all classes the participant attended prior to withdrawing and a $25.00 administration fee.

After the third class there is no refund for the swimming lessons.

Credits don’t expire and are not refundable.

Backyard Swimming Lessons

We do swim in the rain! However, we do not swim when there is thunder or lightning.

Prior to Lesson

If the forecast calls for thunder or lightning (or other extreme weather conditions), we will monitor the weather and contact you by email or text to let you know of a potential cancellation of the lesson and our plan.

If its clear that the weather is not safe for teaching, the lesson will be cancelled and rescheduled for another day.

During the lesson

If the weather changes during the lesson, we will exit the pool immediately and take cover. While we wait, we will do a dry lesson (which includes water safety). In water lessons will resume as scheduled once it is safe to do so.

Registration for Swimming Lessons

We try our best to register students for the best lessons possible – not just the right levels. We take into consideration the students age and ability, in addition to level when organizing group and semi-private lessons.
