Last Updated: June 2, 2025
Welcome to Pikes Swimming Club ("Club", "we", "us", "our"). These
Membership Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your membership with
the Club. By applying for or renewing membership, you agree to be
bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. Membership Eligibility & Application
Membership is open to individuals who agree to abide by the Club's
rules, policies, and Code of Conduct. Specific programs may have age
or skill prerequisites.
All applications are subject to approval by the Club management. We
reserve the right to refuse or revoke membership at our discretion.
2. Fees & Payments
Current membership fees, lesson fees, and payment schedules are
detailed in the Club's fee structure, available upon request or on
our notice board.
Fees are payable in advance by the due date. Failure to pay fees may
result in suspension or termination of membership privileges.
All fees are non-refundable except under exceptional circumstances,
at the sole discretion of the Club management.
3. Code of Conduct
All members (swimmers, parents, guardians) are expected to adhere to
the Pikes Swimming Club Code of Conduct at all times. This includes
demonstrating respect for coaches, staff, other members, and Club
property.
A copy of the Code of Conduct is available [on our website/at the
Club office/upon request]. Breaches of the Code of Conduct may
result in disciplinary action, including suspension or termination
of membership.
4. Health, Safety & Liability
Members are responsible for ensuring they (or their children) are
medically fit to participate in swimming activities. Please inform
the Club of any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or

While the Club takes all reasonable care to ensure a safe
environment, participation in swimming and related activities is at
the member's own risk.
The Club is not liable for any personal injury, loss, or damage to
property, except where caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Club or its staff.
Members must adhere to all posted pool rules and safety guidelines
provided by Club staff and coaches.
5. Program Schedules & Cancellations
Training schedules are subject to change. The Club will endeavor to
provide reasonable notice of any changes or cancellations.
In the event of unforeseen pool closures or cancellations by the
Club (e.g., due to coach illness, facility issues), we will attempt
to offer make-up sessions or credits where feasible, but this is not
guaranteed.
6. Privacy & Data Protection
The Club collects and uses personal information for the purpose of
managing memberships, communicating with members, and ensuring
