Persons with special needs are welcome to attend any recreation activity compatible with their interests and abilities. Participants are encouraged to bring their own volunteer support. This volunteer could be a friend, spouse, family member or caregiver. The volunteer is not charged a fee when they attend a program with a paying, registered participant.

  • Your refund is pro-rated from the time you notify us of your withdrawal. No refunds after the 2nd class.
  • A full refund will be issued if you withdraw 10 working days or more before the program start date. Withdrawal from any Aquatics Leadership program less than 10 business days before the start date will result in a withdrawal fee of $25.

An administration fee of $8 is charged for any refund requested. Only one administrative fee will be charged if more than one withdrawal is processed at the same time for the same family. An administration fee is not charged if the withdrawal is due to medical reasons or if the program is cancelled by Recreation Services. A medical certificate may be requested by Recreation Services to substantiate a refund request. No administration fee will be charged if you choose to leave your credit on account for future use.
