Course Cancellation Policies

Low Enrollment - There is a minimum requirement of 5 participants for each class to run. American Pool reserves the right to cancel any class that does not meet the minimum requirement. If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, students in that class will be able to transfer to the next desired class free of charge.

Inclement Weather - If a class is canceled due to inclement weather, students in that class will be able to transfer to the next desired class free of charge. 

Participant Cancellation - If a student cancels 2 weeks or more before the start date of the class, a full refund will be given to that student. Students who cancel less than 2 weeks before the start date of the class will not receive a refund, but they can apply the original $25 non-refundable registration fee toward a future class. If a student “No-Shows” to a class, there will be no refund given. Please review our No-Show Policy for more details. To cancel your class, please email kcostill@americanpool.com.
