In the event a lesson is cancelled due to weather or water temperatures, dates will be rebooked. If dates cannot be rebooked, then refunds will be issued on a pro-rated basis based on days attended.

For the Lifewaving Society Lessons report cards will no longer be issued as we have gone to an online system, with access codes given to each pariticipant.
