CUS Bologna Swimming School Regulations

To take part in the Swimming School activities, it is mandatory to register with Card CUS Bologna A.S.D. by filling out the appropriate form, acknowledging acceptance of the regulations in their entirety. We therefore invite you to read them carefully.

GENERAL RULES

  • Attendance at Swimming and Aquafitness Courses

➡️ 1st semester: from 22/09/2025 to 25/01/2026
➡️ 2nd semester: from 02/02/2026 to 24/05/2026
➡️ Summer session: from 03/06/2026 to 28/07/2026

Course attendance can be once, twice, or three times per week.

  • Course suspensions for holidays during the year are: 01–02 November ’25 / 08 December ’25 / from 24 December ’25 to 06 January ’26 (inclusive) / from 04 April to 06 April ’26 (inclusive) / 25 April ’26 / 01 May ’26 / 02 June ’26.
  • Registration and renewal of swimming courses: new registrations and any renewals must be carried out in the months prior to the start of the courses, specifically on the dates indicated in the “Activity Calendar for the 2025/2026 sports year” on display. Registration for subsequent courses is not automatic but must be communicated to the Secretariat and is confirmed only upon payment of the fee.
  • Admission fee to the Swimming School and course fees: the membership required to attend the swimming school courses is valid from the date of registration until 31/08/2026. A valid Certificate of Non-Competitive Sports Fitness or Sports Booklet must be presented for the entire chosen attendance period. The participation fee includes the lesson and pool access only for the duration of the course in which the student is enrolled; it does not include access to free swimming or the solarium.

THE COURSE ATTENDANCE FEE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE TO OTHER PERIODS AND/OR OTHER MEMBERS. LESSONS THAT, DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE (INDEPENDENT OF THE SPORTS CLUB’S CONTROL), ARE NOT HELD, CANNOT BE RESCHEDULED AND PAYMENTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

ATTENDANCE RULES
Students may access the pool deck only if they have complied with the following requirements:

  • CUSB membership (upon submission of a valid Medical Certificate)

  • Proper registration or renewal of the course.

The Sports Club also reserves the right to cancel courses that do not reach the minimum number of participants, giving timely notice and transferring the registration to other times or days.

Parents may accompany their children to the “meeting point” and watch the lessons from the stands overlooking the pool deck. If they wish to speak with the instructor, they may do so at the end of the lesson; it is not permitted to interfere with or interrupt the regular course of the class.

Upon registration, you will receive a CUSB card to be used for pool access via the turnstiles. In swimming courses and Aquatic Gymnastics activities, ONE make-up lesson is allowed (or two lessons in twice-weekly courses, three in three-times-per-week courses) per semester purchased. At the end of each semester, a “MAKE-UP week” is scheduled (not included in the course fee), during which students may attend on the same day and time of their registration to make up one (or more) complimentary lessons.

In the case of absence due to illness or injury, NO form of REFUND is provided.

Withdrawal from courses, regardless of the reason, does not entitle the student to a refund of the fee paid.
