• Instruction may end a few minutes early for instructors to talk to parents about child’s progress.
• Instructors can not teach two swimmers at the same time as Montclair does not have lifeguards.

Cancellation/Refund Policy:

The fees for Piedmont Swim Team’s Swim Lessons and Pre Competitive Program and any other activities/programs affiliated to Piedmont Swim Team and its affiliates are due at the time of registration and must be paid via credit card. 

If your plans change and a refund is needed, it must be requested by emailing lessons@piedmontswimteam.org 72 hours prior to the first activity for swim lessons and 15 days prior to the first day of the start of the Pre Competitive Program. Requests sent in after those hours/days or requested in person will not be approved. There will be a $50 processing fee withheld from all refunds for Pre Competitive Program before 15 days and a $25 processing fee from all Swim Lessons within 72 hours.

There will be no refunds given on or after those hours/days. This includes refunds requested for illness, injury, change of plans, travel or other reasons.

Air Quality Policy:

 Our lesson recommendations will be informed by the Air Quality Index and standard recommendations for activity endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Final decision about lessons cancellations will be made 2 hour before the start of lessons with an alert sent to members.

We suggest sensitive groups take into account air quality when the AQI is 150 or below and will cancel and refund lessons if AQI goes above 150. We use Purple Air to track AQI and will send out email communications for lesson cancellations due to air quality.
