Refunds & Transfers

  • Cancellations made at least 7 days before the course start date are eligible for a refund minus a $10 processing fee.
  • Cancellations made less than 7 days before the course start date are non-refundable.
  • Refunds are not issued for absences, incomplete online training, missed sessions, failed prerequisite skills, failed evaluations, or unsuccessful course completion.
  • Transfers to a later course may be offered when available, but are not guaranteed.
  • If EST Aquatics cancels a course due to low enrollment, facility closure, instructor availability, weather, safety concerns, or other circumstances, participants may be offered a refund or transfer option. Any applicable processing fees may be deducted.

Physical Readiness & Liability

  • Aquatics and safety training courses may involve physical activity, swimming, rescue skills, lifting, kneeling, bending, CPR skills, and other physically demanding tasks.
  • Participants are responsible for ensuring they are physically able to participate. Anyone with health concerns should consult a medical professional before registering.
