1. About Magic Swim

Magic Swim provides private swimming lessons, including 1-to-1 and 2-to-1 sessions, in Belfast and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland.

Magic Swim is operated by a self-employed swimming coach.

For enquiries, please contact:

These Terms & Conditions explain the general conditions for participating in swimming lessons. By arranging lessons with Magic Swim, you agree to these terms and the separate Private Swim Lesson Payment Terms & Conditions.

2. Swimming Lessons

Private lessons are arranged directly with the coach and are subject to availability.

Lessons are generally 30 minutes long.
Lessons are offered on a 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 basis.
Lessons take place at agreed venues, currently Valley Leisure Centre in Newtownabbey and Grove Wellbeing Centre in Belfast.
Lesson times and arrangements are agreed directly with the coach.

The coach will work with each swimmer according to their ability, experience and learning needs. Progress may vary between swimmers.

3. Bookings and Lesson Arrangements

A lesson arrangement is confirmed directly with the coach.

Parents or guardians must ensure that the agreed lesson time and location are understood and that the swimmer arrives ready for the session.

Any requests to change lesson times or arrangements should be made directly with the coach. Changes depend on availability and are not guaranteed until agreed.

4. Parents and Guardians

For swimmers under 18, parents or legal guardians are responsible for:

Providing accurate and relevant information about the swimmer.
Informing the coach of any relevant medical, behavioural, communication or support needs that may affect participation or safety.
Ensuring the swimmer arrives on time and is appropriately equipped.
Following the swimming venue’s rules and requirements.
Remaining responsible for their child before and after the lesson, including outside the agreed lesson period.

Any arrangements for parental supervision during lessons will be discussed where appropriate.

5. Swimmer Safety and Conduct

Safety is a priority during every lesson.

Swimmers must follow the coach’s instructions and comply with the swimming venue’s rules. The coach may adapt, pause or stop a session if this is reasonably necessary for safety or the wellbeing of the swimmer or others.

Parents and guardians must not withhold information that could reasonably affect the safe delivery of a lesson.

Swimmers should bring suitable swimwear and any personal equipment requested by the coach.

Pool admission, membership or pay-as-you-go charges are the responsibility of the parent, guardian or adult swimmer unless agreed otherwise in advance.

6. Health and Additional Support Needs

Parents, guardians and adult swimmers should inform the coach of relevant health conditions, injuries, allergies or support requirements before the lesson.

Magic Swim aims to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Reasonable adjustments will be considered in light of the swimmer’s needs, the facilities available and safety requirements.

If a swimmer becomes unwell or an activity is considered unsafe, the coach may modify or stop the lesson.

7. Payments, Absences and Cancellations

Lesson fees, monthly invoices, planned absences and missed lessons are covered by the separate Private Swim Lesson Payment Terms & Conditions, available through the Magic Swim website.

Those payment terms should be read alongside these general Terms & Conditions.

If the coach cancels a lesson, the arrangements for a replacement lesson or credit will follow the published payment terms.

Nothing in these terms removes any rights a customer has under applicable consumer law.

8. Changes to Lessons

Occasionally, lessons may need to be changed because of illness, venue closures, pool availability, safety concerns or other circumstances outside the coach’s reasonable control.

Where a change is necessary, the coach will communicate with the parent, guardian or adult swimmer and discuss an appropriate alternative where possible.

9. Personal Information

Personal information is handled in accordance with the Magic Swim Privacy Policy, available on this website.

Information about a swimmer is used only where reasonably necessary for enquiries, lesson arrangements, communication, safety and the delivery of lessons, or for other lawful purposes explained in the Privacy Policy.

10. Liability

Magic Swim takes reasonable care to provide swimming lessons in a professional and safety-conscious manner.

Participants must follow safety instructions and venue rules. However, nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Complaints and Questions

If you have a question or concern about a lesson, please contact the coach directly so that it can be discussed and addressed.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated when necessary to reflect changes to Magic Swim’s services, operating arrangements or legal requirements.

Where a change materially affects an existing arrangement, reasonable steps will be taken to communicate the change. Changes will not remove rights that customers have under applicable law.

The latest version will be published on this page.

13. Applicable Law

These terms are subject to the laws applicable in Northern Ireland, and nothing in them prevents a consumer from exercising any rights available under applicable law.
