FAQ
Is this your first time with us? Here’s what students need to know:
-
Arrive 10 minutes prior to lesson time to change and meet your instructor just past the entrance by the wooden tables.
-
Tell front entrance you’re taking a swim lesson and mention instructor's name.
-
Bring to each lesson: swimsuit, towel, swim goggles and swim cap for long hair...necessary swim equipment which we don’t provide.
-
No other equipment is needed unless requested by instructor.
-
Meet instructor between medium and main pools.
- Keep shower and change time short after lessons.
If you have any issues with an instructor feel free to fill out our complaint form and we will remove you from future lessons.
For parents
- We invite you to observe lessons from the deck above the pool.
- To ensure enough space for instructors and swimmers, we ask that parents remain off the poolside and do not participate in lessons.
- To keep you informed of your child's progress, instructors may end lessons a few minutes early to chat with parents.
- Please note that instructors cannot teach two swimmers simultaneously, as Montclair does not have lifeguards on duty.
- Make-up lessons are available at the instructor's discretion.
- For any questions or cancellations, please email lessons@piedmontswimteam.org. Please do not call the Montclair Swim Club directly.
PST Cancellation & Refund Policy
Please read carefully before completing registration.
By enrolling in PST programs, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
1. General Attendance & Missed Sessions
Registration for PST Swim Lessons and the Pre-Competitive Program is final. PST does not offer refunds, pro-rated tuition, discounts, or make-up sessions for missed lessons or practices for any reason—including illness, injury, personal schedule changes, travel, or weather. Once a session or schedule is booked, attendance is the responsibility of the swimmer and their guardian.
2. Pre-Competitive Program Specifics
Schedule options for the Pre-Competitive Program cannot be mixed, swapped, or interchanged. PST does not permit cancellations, withdrawals, or refunds once a swimmer is enrolled.
3. Instructor Cancellations
If PST or an instructor must cancel a scheduled lesson or practice, PST will either issue a refund or schedule a make-up session at the management’s discretion.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions prior to registering, please contact us.
