Kid's lessons with no results and no refunds

[Zigner]

... “we can issue refund for a few leftover lessons, but not for the past lessons”

I missed this at first. You should take the money and run!

Yes, I noticed that as well.

Bad swimmer has not indicated how many lessons were included in that $500, and how many lessons bad swimmer's kid has been to.

My 3 year old GS balked at learning to swim with apparently well qualified instructor ...then a few weeks later he jumped in and swam all over the place.
Kids are kids and don't always progress exactly as we adults think they should.

AS posted, child consumed the services , no refund is in your cards.

Can you just toss them in the deep end and say "Swim to me if you wish to live"?

That was done to my oldest. By a swim instructor. Took us years to overcome.

Yes, that was my first concern. The popular swim school where I am does that.

Happened to me when I was first learning to swim. Scared the heck out of me and I didn't want to learn for many years after that.

Stealth and Red...You do realize I was kidding ...right? That's why I did the .

I have that first quote in my signature for a reason - "Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them in with your favorite colors." It is a very valuable lesson that I learned as a parent. Not all kids are good at what you want them to be good at. And that's okay.

OP - how old is your child?

I know. Both of my children learned the basic's from Dad and I and the more advanced stuff from a cousin that was a Life Guard. I will tell you tho...If I sent my child for lessons and she was tossed in the deep end? I flipping kick the instructor in the balls/vagina. You do not teach by scaring a child like that.

We pulled #1 out of the pool and left, never to return. And honestly? The lost lesson fees never crossed my mind.

When I was a kid we went to a pool party at a home with a built in pool with a slide at the deep end. I couldn’t swim, but wanted to go down the slide. So essentially I threw myself into the water and said swim if you want to live.

But that was your choice... You weren't FORCED. You gave consent, for lack of better terminology.
