The YWCA reserves the right to discontinue or adjust any and all classes, including private lesson, on our lesson session schedule. If a cancellation takes place, the guardian for each swimmer will be notified.

YWCA Central Maine does not issues refunds for lessons. To check for building-wide cancellations, including those due to inclement weather, visit our Facebook page or call 795-4050.

If you withdrawal from the entire swim lessons session before the first day of classes, you will receive a one-year credit for a future swim lessons session at the same rate (note: you will be responsible to pay any additional fees if you sign up for a more expensive session). No refunds are issued for voluntary cancellations or withdraws.
