Miller Swim School
Terms and Conditions
It is critical that you understand the Terms and Conditions of the Miller Swim School system (“Miller” or “Miller Swim School”) to ensure each student has a fun, rewarding and safe experience when learning to swim.
Class Times
The vast majority of our small group, semi-private or private lessons are 30 minutes in length, one day per week. Classes are held at the same time and day of the week during each week of ongoing swim lessons. However, we do offer other lesson formats to address our various customer requirements. Please note the class description for each lesson format before you enroll.
Registration
There are no registration deadlines. Customers can create accounts and enroll swimmers for lessons at any time, subject to available capacity in the requested lessons, as solely determined by the Miller Swim School location for which they have been enrolled.
Tuition and Fees
- Tuition:
• Ongoing swim lessons: You will input your payment method during the registration process. Once your student is enrolled for classes, your payment method will be charged for the first month’s tuition and an annual service fee. The amount of tuition for the first month will be prorated based on the number of available classes remaining in that particular month. Until you notify us of your desire to withdraw your student from classes in accordance with our policy (see “Dropping Enrollment” below), you agree to monthly, automatic recurring billing of tuition. The monthly amounts of tuition may vary based on the number of weeks in each respective calendar month. Ongoing swim lesson tuition will be billed on the 25th day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the classes will be held. For example, if you enroll your student in January, you will be charged the tuition and fees for January at the time of enrollment, and then you will be charged on January 25th for the tuition and fees corresponding to classes held in February. Tuition rates may differ according to location, day and/or time of the lessons provided. If Miller Swim School is unable to process your payment by the last day of the month, a $15 late fee will be charged in order to remain in lessons. Failure to pay for lessons by the 5th of the next month will result in the swimmer being removed from lessons.
• Promotional bundles, punch passes, camps (SwimJams), appointments, or clinics: When you enroll your student for classes as part of promotional bundles, punch pass, camp (SwimJams), appointment, or clinics, you will be charged the full amount of the tuition for such program plus an annual service fee. - Annual Service Fee:
• An annual service fee must be paid by you for each student when such student is enrolled for any of the above programs regardless of the length of the program.
• Each year thereafter, the annual service fee will be automatically charged to your payment method on file during the month of your registration anniversary and is not refundable or transferable for any reason.
• Until you notify us of your desire to withdraw your student from classes in accordance with our policy (see “Dropping Enrollment” below), you agree to yearly, automatic recurring billing of the annual service fee.
• The amount of the annual service fee varies by location and is subject to change. The current annual service fee is listed on each location’s website on the pricing and promotion page. The annual service fee cannot be transferred to another Miller location.
• If a student withdraws from lessons, and returns after their anniversary date, the annual service fee will be charged at the time of enrollment.
Methods of Payment
Valid payment information must be provided at the time of enrollment whether enrolling a student online, in person, or over the phone. Electronic payments are the only payment methods accepted by Miller. Electronic payments include credit cards, debit cards and electronic check. Checks and cash are not accepted. You are responsible for making sure your method of payment remains current and valid. In the event your method of payment lapses for any reason and we are unable to collect payment from you, your student(s) may be withdrawn from classes at the sole determination of Miller Swim School. In some cases, third-party payment arrangements will be accepted (please see below).
Tuition and Annual Service Fee Paid by Third-Party
Tuition and the annual service fee for any program may be paid on behalf of a student by a third-party (i.e., someone who is not a parent or guardian of the student). Any third-party payer must execute a third-party payer agreement and provide his or her credit card or electronic check (e-check) information. Such credit card or e-check information will be used to bill the third-party payer for the duration of any swim lesson program in which the student is enrolled, unless the third-party payer instructs otherwise. In the event the third-party payer fails or refuses to pay any amounts due for lessons provided to the student, the customer who originally enrolled the student for swim lessons will be responsible for any unpaid tuition and annual service fee payments due to Miller Swim School.
Electronic Check Insufficient Funds Fee Policy
In the event an electronic check is returned or declined due to insufficient funds, an administrative fee of $10.00 will be assessed to the account holder. The account holder is responsible for ensuring sufficient funds are available in the account to cover all payments. Repeated instances of insufficient funds may result in further action, including but not limited to cancelling the participant’s enrollment in swim lessons.
Dropping Enrollment
To drop a student from lessons under any program, log into your account via the customer portal on the Miller website (www.Miller.com) and complete the drop enrollment option for your student. You may also email (miller@millerswimschool.com), call or speak to a staff member at the location your student is enrolled to complete and receive confirmation of your drop. You must submit a drop request at least one calendar month prior to your intent to drop from monthly swim lessons. The cancellation will be effective upon the last day of the month following our receipt of proper notification (the “Drop Date”). For example, if we receive notification of a student dropping from lessons in November, the Drop Date will be December 31st. All monthly tuition must be paid through the Drop Date. Your drop has been processed only when you receive an email confirmation from Miller.
SwimJam Cancellation Policy
Cancellations made before the first day of camp may receive a full refund less a $35 cancellation fee per student. No refunds or credits will be issued for dropping from SwimJams on the first day of class or after. Students will be eligible to receive one (1) Makeup Moolah Pass for each day that they miss during the SwimJam period they are enrolled in. A Makeup Moolah Pass will allow your student to attend a family swim session (available at participating Miller locations).
Missed Private/Semi-Private Lesson
Please call Miller Swim School to cancel a lesson your student(s) will not attend. A make-up lesson will not be provided for a no-show. If a student is late to a lesson by 10 minutes or more without calling Miller Swim School beforehand, that lesson will be forfeited and no make-up lesson will be offered. If your student misses a Private/Semi-Private lesson, you have the choice to receive one of the following three options: Option 1: Five (5) “Make Up Moolah” passes which will allow your student to attend up to five family swim sessions (available at participating Miller locations). Option 2: One (1) Group Make-Up Lesson. The make-up group lesson must be completed within two (2) weeks from the date of the original absence and is subject to the availability of instructors and the facility at which the original lesson took place, as solely determined by Miller Swim School. No credit will be given if the student is subsequently unable to attend the scheduled make-up lesson. A student’s right to a make-up lesson cannot be transferred to any other student. Make-up lessons are only valid when a student is actively enrolled in a class or program. Option 3: One (1) Private Make-Up Lesson with your instructor scheduled at such instructor’s availability. You will be charged a $10 make-up fee.
Make-Up Lesson Due to Student Absence for Group Lessons (at participating locations only)
Students are eligible for one (1) make-up lesson every calendar month due to the student’s absence. The make-up lesson must be completed within two (2) weeks from the date of the original absence and is subject to the availability of instructors and the facility at which the original lesson took place, as solely determined by Miller Swim School. No credit will be given if the student is subsequently unable to attend the scheduled make-up lesson. A student’s right to a make-up lesson cannot be transferred to any other student. Make-up lessons are only valid when a student is actively enrolled in a class or program.
Make-Up Lesson Due to Facility Closure
In the event a facility is closed due to inclement weather, maintenance, or another reason, a make-up lesson might be scheduled at that particular Miller Swim School location. If you are offered a make-up lesson, it must be completed within two (2) weeks of the originally scheduled (missed) class and is subject to availability, as solely determined by Miller Swim School.
Instructor and Lesson Changes
While Miller Swim School does its best to accommodate requests for students to have specific instructors, it cannot guarantee such requests will be granted. Instructor substitutions, schedule modifications, and other changes can and will occur at the sole discretion of any Miller Swim School location. If a lesson is not booked to capacity, every Miller Swim School location reserves the right, based on its sole determination, to combine enrollment for various lessons in order to fill such lessons, to cancel lessons, or to change the date, time, or level of any lesson at any time.
Camps (SwimJams) (at participating locations only)
Camps, also referred to as SwimJams, are sessions that span one (1) to three (3) weeks and include 30-60 minute lessons which meet multiple times each week. Session dates, session durations, and pricing for SwimJams vary by location.
S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise (SSP) (at participating locations only)
The S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise (“SSP Program”) is a program where students are taught the skills necessary to pass Miller’s S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test in one year or less of enrollment in select classes (the “Promise Year”). If the student does not pass the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test in one year of consecutive enrollment in one of our select Group Lessons, the student will receive up to two (2) months of free group lessons. Free lessons are discontinued if the student passes the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test prior to the full two (2) months of free lessons being completed. If the student does not progress to Beginner 4 Group Lessons within one year, the student will not be allowed to take the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test and will instead be provided with up to two (2) months of free lessons. During the two (2) months of free lessons, if the student progresses to Beginner 4 Group Lessons and takes and passes the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test prior to the full two (2) months of free lessons being completed, the free lessons will be discontinued.
To be eligible to participate in the SSP Program, the student must be enrolled in one of our Beginner 2, Beginner 3, or Beginner 4 Group Lessons for ages four years and up and will automatically be a part of the SSP Program. Participation in the SSP Program and the start to your Promise Year begins on the student’s first day of applicable lessons. Students must maintain consistent attendance to participate in the SSP Program.
Students may have a maximum of four (4) missed classes during their Promise Year. A missed class is defined as an absence from a regular class without completing a make-up session within two (2) weeks from the date of the original absence and is subject to the availability of instructors and the facility at which the original lesson took place, as solely determined by Miller Swim School. An absence from a regularly scheduled class will not count as a missed class if the student utilizes their make-up session within the specified time as outlined in our make-up policies. If the student accumulates five (5) missed classes, they will no longer be a part of the SSP Program and will not be able to participate in the SSP Program in the future. If the student drops enrollment from classes, the SSP Promise Year restarts upon their return.
The SSP Program is Miller Swim School's specific skills test meant to teach participants certain self-rescue safety skills. While the SSP Program is intended to help participants become safer swimmers, it does not guarantee the safety of each participant in all swimming scenarios. Appropriate supervision and adherence to water safety standards is always recommended.
Timeliness
If a student is more than 10 minutes late for a lesson, a student will not be allowed to join that lesson, and the student will be marked as absent.
Changing Areas, Restrooms and Locker Rooms - Hosted Facilities (Fitness Centers, Hotels, Apartment Complexes, Recreation Centers, etc.)
Please refer to the specific locker room policies and guidelines of the hosted facility in which the Miller is located, as you agree that the participant will follow such policies.
Watching Lessons
Parents must remain at the Miller Swim School facility for the entire duration of their student’s lessons. If the lessons are conducted in a standalone Miller Swim School facility, please watch your student from the viewing area located in the lobby of the facility unless otherwise requested by the student’s instructor. Our goal is to give each student the best learning experience possible, so please refrain from interrupting your student’s lesson. If you wish to speak with your student’s instructor, please contact a representative at the facility’s front desk to coordinate a meeting with the instructor.
Promotional Text Messages
If you receive a text message that contains promotional information, you can opt-out of receiving future text messages from corporate-owned Miller locations by replying “STOP.”
