refund & swim credit policy

OW swim credit refund and transfer policy.

 

Unless you have purchased your SWIM CREDITS within the last 14 days you will not get a refund for complete and unused SWIM CREDITS or packages.

 

It is not practical for a business like ours to issue refunds outside the statuary 14 day 'cooling off' period for online sales - we are sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but it is our policy which you agreed to when you made the purchase.

 

If you wish to 'cancel' an individual swim session you have booked onto, then this will need to be done via the FIT by WIX booking app and needs to be within the allowable cancellation period for your class of ticket (usually more than 12 hours before the start of the session). The credit(s) will be returned to your 'virtual' wallet for use on future swim sessions within the current season if you cancel within these terms via the app - staff cannot cancel sessions for you or 'over ride' the cancellation terms.

 

Credits have no cash value and cannot be refunded to your bank account - if you want to know more please see below...

 

WE DO NOT ISSUE REFUNDS! When you buy SWIM CREDITS to use during any SWIM SEASON you are agreeing that these credits will be used by the published 'last day of season' which is currently the 2026/27 winter season that finishes on the swim session running on Sunday 25th April 2027. We will extended this date pro rata as a goodwill gesture if we open early for the summer season due to water temps hitting 14 DegreesC.

 

If you buy SUMMER SWIM TICKETS for the 2027 season in our BIG SUMMER SALE that runs on the first weekend of December 2026 then please note we do not offer refunds on SALE TICKETS outside the 14 days cooling off period, but it is possible to transfer the entire ticket to another member if requested by the original purchaser via the app message system prior to the 1st May 2025 (season start).

 

You have purchased access credits to use our facilities for a swim session, a bit like purchasing a monthly gym membership you have agreed to use these credits before they expire by booking the relevant sessions via our booking app. All credits MUST be used by the last swim session of the season they were purchased for (or on one of that seasons advertised induction sessions if a winter season).

 

The terms & conditions are quite clear that they have no cash value and cannot be refunded at any point.

 

There are plenty of sessions available spread throughout each season and plenty of induction sessions in the winter season. It is your responsibility to check the calendar and book your session(s). The calendar can be viewed via the booking app prior to purchasing any credits to be sure you can make the dates available.

 

It is unfair to expect us to refund your purchase because you decided it 'wasn't for you' or if you 'didn't have time to swim' or 'suffered an injury or illness'.

 

These things and any other reasons are outside our control and just like buying that gym membership in a rush of excited intention in the January sale... but never using it... you won't get a refund if you decide not to go or can't use it for any other reason.

 

It is really important that you viewed the TERMS & CONDITIONS when you purchased your swim credit - These are totally transparent and visible when you go through the purchase process (you have to tick to say you have read them before you can proceed to payment) and are really clear. After FINAL CHECK OUT you are diverted to the TERMS & CONDITIONS so you don't even have to go looking for them, it is not our fault if you ticked to say you had or would read them... but then didnt!

 

Please remember that we do have a 'Pay as You Go' option every year where you simply sign up and pay for a single swim session each time you visit, if you are at all unsure if you will get best value from a pre paid number of swims or the discount offered in the December sale for the following season, then this is probably the best option for you.

 

If you have any other reason you believe you might be considered for a refund then please email us using the CONTACT US link or message us via the booking app, but please be aware that we have a lot of incoming emails and booking enquiries so it is unlikely you will get a fast reply as our policies are quite clear and readily available on the booking app... we are not totally without empathy if you have a genuine case and wish to discuss the possibilities.
