I've signed up for an account so why can't I access bookings?

When you sign up for an account you should automatically receive one or two emails: 1. You might receive an email that is required to verify your address - especially if you signed up with a social media account. If you receive this email, you MUST click on the 'verify email' part before you can move on. 2. You should receive an email that confirms that your account has been approved. If you don't then we may have blocked your account. Either of these emails may find their way into your spam folder, so check there if you can't find them. If you still have issues please contact us.



I've completed the Terms Form, why can't I access bookings?

Once the Signup Form is complete, we manually check that you've entered full details. It can take up to 24 hours for us to get round to this. If you find it's taken longer, then please check your email because we may have asked you for more details. The most common issue is an incomplete address. For insurance purposes we require all of the following: house number or name, street, town and postcode.



Can I make multiple bookings at once?

Yes you can! 10 private sessions for the price of 9. Ideal for customers who swim on a regular basis. Either select Bulk Booking from the Book Online menu, or 'buy a pricing plan', when you select an availability from the calendar.

What are my COVID refund options?

Unfortunately our web system (WIX) can not handle refunds for bookings that were cancelled due to lockdown! We have to process each refund individually through the payment providers PayPal or WorldPay. But it's a real pain, so we need your help. Here are the options below. If you're looking for a refund for SASP swimming lessons, please contact SASP directly.

  • I'd like to donate my payment to St Micheal's Pool:
Obviously this is not expected of you. However it would help enormously, especially given the COVID closure, and we would be eternally grateful. Please let us know so we can thank you personally.
  • I'd like a credit note for my next booking:
This would also help enormously because it's much easier for us than processing a refund. Please message us with the following details: Please may I have a credit note. Name: __________ Date & time of cancelled booking(s): __________ Amount paid: £__________
  • I'd like a refund please:
Of course we will respect and oblige all refund requests. Please message us with the following details: Please may I have a refund.
