These cancellations are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please speak with the program director for more information/special accommodations.
3. The YMCA cannot accommodate make-up classes or refunds for classes missed due to personal conflicts.
4. The YMCA reserves the right to combine classes if there is insufficient enrollment or to cancel classes if combining levels is not an option. In the event of a completely cancelled class session, a full refund will be given.
5. If the YMCA cancels a scheduled class during the session (i.e. for inclement weather or pool closures), and a make-up class is not offered, a YMCA credit or refund will be issued.
