Membership Terms & Conditions

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 injuries.

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 safety.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Our full Privacy Policy is available [link to privacy policy or state where it can be found].
