Absence Notifications & Makeup Tokens
CUSTOMER PORTALTo report a future absence from a regular swim lesson, customers must do so through the Customer Portal up to 2 weeks in advance. No exceptions are made for this policy.
How to Report an Absence in the Customer Portal:
All customers must report absences directly through the Customer Portal no later than 2 hours prior to the start of their scheduled lesson. This will excuse the absence and issue a swim lesson makeup token.
- Log in to your Customer Portal
- Navigate to My Account
- Find the student and click Future Absences option
- When prompted, select By Enrollment (not “By Date”)
- Choose the correct date and enrollment, add an optional comment, and click Submit
IMPORTANT: If reporting more than one absence date, please enter each absence individually using the steps above.
Makeup Token Details:
- Absences reported on time through the Customer Portal will generate makeup tokens automatically.
- Tokens can be used to schedule makeup swim lessons or makeup AquaRec reservations for 2 swimmers.
- Makeup tokens will appear in the Customer Portal the day after the absence has occurred.
- Makeup tokens are valid for 1 year from the date of issue.
- Once a makeup token has been used to book a makeup lesson or makeup reservation, any changes or cancellations will result in forfeiture of that token.
Private Lesson Makeup Tokens:
Tokens issued for excused private lessons can only be redeemed in the Group Swim Lesson or AquaRec programs. Private makeup lessons are not offered, even if the absence is reported on time. No financial credits or refunds will be issued for missed private lessons, except in the case of AquaTech-initiated closures for safety reasons.
No refunds or credits are given for:
- Unused makeup tokens
- Expired tokens
Facility Closures
CLOSURESScheduled Closures: Our facility may occasionally close for planned events such as holidays or maintenance. We strive to notify all customers well in advance of these closures. Lesson fees during these periods will be prorated based on the actual number of lessons provided within the billing cycle. Customers do not have to notify AquaTech of absences on these scheduled closure dates. Please see the ABOUT section of the website for closure dates.
Unexpected Closures: In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as safety issues or acts of God (e.g., natural disasters, emergencies) that necessitate the temporary closure of our facility, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our swimmers and staff above all. Should such closures affect your scheduled classes, we will issue non-expiring makeup tokens. There are no financial credits or refunds for these types of closures.
Waitlist
If you're unable to find an available class that fits your preferred day and time, you can join our waitlist to be notified when a spot opens up. Before doing so, please review the following important information:
Customer Portal Account Required:
- To join the waitlist, you must have an active Customer Portal account with current contact information and a valid credit or debit card on file.
Booking Agreement:
- When a space becomes available within your selected preferences, your swimmer will be automatically enrolled in the class. You’ll receive a confirmation via email and text. By joining the waitlist, you agree to this automatic enrollment process.
Financial Agreement:
- Once enrolled, the applicable class fee will be charged to the card on file. If the payment is unsuccessful, the enrollment will be canceled and the swimmer will be returned to the waitlist.
Waitlist Limits and Management:
- Each swimmer may be on up to five (5) waitlists at a time. You can view and manage your waitlist status through the Customer Portal under “My Account.”
If your availability or class preferences change, please email us at office@aquatechswim.com so we can update your waitlist selections accordingly.
Check-In Process
FAQsBefore each lesson, all swimmers are mandated to check in utilizing the self-check-in kiosks located at the entrance of the facility. Customers may check in using any phone number associated with their customer account. The kiosk will notify customers of the scheduled swim lesson time, as well as the corresponding lane basket number and color designated for that swim lesson.
See a more in-depth review of this process in our FAQ section.
Personal Belongings - Onsite Storage
Open storage cubes are available for the purpose of storing clothing and towels during lessons. Personal belongings should not be left in changing stalls. It is advisable not to bring valuables into the facility; rather, they should be secured in a car trunk or glove compartment. AquaTech disclaims any responsibility for lost or stolen items.
Spectator Viewing
All spectators and swimmers waiting for their lesson must remain in the designated spectator viewing area. Parents must supervise their children at all times and remain on-site while their swimmers are in lessons. A facility audio recording will notify swimmers when it is time to enter the pool area and find their lane basket number and color.
Pool Deck Safety
Deck supervisors are present to ensure student safety and monitor progress. Parents, spectators, clothing, shoes and towels are not allowed on the pool deck during lessons.
Showers
Showers are intended for brief rinsing only. The use of soap or shampoo is not permitted.
Swim Instructors
We guarantee a warm pool and a trained instructor for each swimmer every week. While we strive to maintain instructor consistency, we cannot guarantee the same instructor for every lesson. Advanced notice of instructor changes is not feasible and should not be expected.
Code Of Conduct
We kindly request that all customers demonstrate courteous behavior and friendly social conduct while on our premises. Respecting the rights of individuals includes refraining from using abusive language, making threats, engaging in violent outbursts, intimidation, bullying, harassment, or any other form of abusive, aggressive, or disruptive behavior towards AquaTech customers and employees. AquaTech employees are trained and employed to uphold AquaTech's policies. If a situation arises that is inconsistent with our policy, termination of services may be necessary. In the event that termination of services is necessary, a refund will be provided based on the number of completed classes in the current billing period. Any additional paid fees and/or makeup tokens will be forfeited.
Swimmer Safety
Swimming is an activity that carries inherent risks, particularly the risk of drowning. As a result, AquaTech places the utmost importance on ensuring safety. Safety is prioritized over parental convenience, scheduling, politeness, and personal sentiments. The pool area is not considered a safe location for a "time out." It is mandatory for all children to have appropriate supervision at all times. Therefore, if your child engages in any behavior that poses a danger to themselves, other children, or the instructor(s), and does not respond adequately to instructions or corrections, etc., we reserve the right to remove your child from the lesson and withdraw their enrollment.
Examples of dangerous behavior include, but are not limited to, grabbing other children, screaming, hitting, spitting, running alongside the pool, swimming out of turn, causing panic in others, and behaving in a manner that disrupts the instructor(s) from focusing on the safety of the other children in the class. In the event of an suspension or termination of services, a refund will be provided based on the number of completed classes in the current billing period.
Swim Attire & Swim Diapers
Swimmers must wear swim suits. Swimmers with long hair should wear a cap or have hair pulled back into a pony tail. Children under the age of 3 and/or those who are not yet potty trained must wear a swim diaper underneath their swim suits.
Fecal & Vomit Accident Avoidance
Parents / caretakers are required to ensure their child uses the restroom before the start of lessons. Swimmers should immediately let their instructors know if they need to use the restroom during lessons, as children should not relieve themselves in the pool. Additionally, while small, light snacks can be beneficial before a lesson; large heavy meals and lots of liquid prior to a lesson should be strictly avoided.
