Free Swim Instructor
Service Agreement
One kid chokes on pool water and a litigious parent will sue the whistle right off your neck. Without a signed paper, a last-minute cancellation is just you burning gas and lighting money on fire for an empty lane.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Late Cancellation Penalty' clause so you aren't stuck eating the lane rental costs when a client flakes.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Swim Instructor, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop parents from adding their cousin's kid to the lesson at the last minute?
Define a 'Maximum Student Capacity' in your agreement; it gives you the professional leverage to demand a 'Per-Head Surcharge' or refuse the extra liability.
What do I do if the client is always ten minutes late but expects the full hour?
State clearly in your 'Time Allocation' terms that the clock starts at the scheduled time, not when they show up; your time is the product, and they're burning it.
The facility closed for maintenance last minute—who eats that cost?
Your contract should include a 'Facility Access' clause that outlines a rescheduling procedure or a 'Minimum Call-Out Fee' so you're still paid for your travel and lost opportunity.
