Your Child to the lesson until the lesson finishes and the swimmer returns them to their parent or
guardian. 1.3- You or the adult accompanying Your Child are fully responsible for their own safety
and the safety of any other child who is with them at all times and for the safety of Your Child at all
times outside the scheduled lesson.

accompanying You adheres to those rules.
