Registrations for Spring term in Vernier Geneva are open to all.
The Spring term in Vernier - Geneva will begin on Saturday, May 3, 2025, and end on Sunday, June 29, 2025. There will be no breaks during this term.
The term includes 9 lessons for children swimming on weekends (CHF 378, pool entry included)
and 8 lessons for those swimming on Wednesdays (CHF 336, pool entry included).
Please note that the pools in Vernier, la Tour - Meyrin, Lausanne, and Morges are rented facilities. While they are modern, clean, and heated, they do not offer the child-friendly features of our pool in Bellevue - Geneva.
We teach on Wednesday afternoon, all day long on Saturday and Sunday morning.

By paying for a lesson, you confirm you have read and accepted the full terms & conditions.
-
We do not offer make-up classes for missed sessions, including those missed due to illness. Classes cannot be rescheduled on an ad-hoc basis.
-
Trial lessons are not available, and the pool is only open during teaching hours. After class, the pool is not accessible for additional swimming.
-
Only one adult may accompany each child in the pool area. Families with more than one child in parent/child lessons need one adult per child in the water. For Starfish classes (ages 5 to 12 months), both parents may assist with changing.
-
If your child is crying, please step outside the pool area, as children often settle more quickly when parents are out of sight. Stay nearby in case your child needs further comfort.

In rare cases where a lesson is cancelled for technical reasons by Red Whale, we offer a credit toward your next registration but no refunds. If fewer than three children are registered for a lesson, we may cancel the class and offer either a refund or an alternative time.
