Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 24 September 2026

1.Who we are

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern everything offered by Swimpros GmbH ("Swimpros", "we", "us"), a limited liability company incorporated in Switzerland, with its registered office at Bändlistrasse 54, 8064 Zürich, Switzerland.

Swimpros GmbH is entered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zürich under company number (UID) CHE-281.770.574. You can check our entry in the official Swiss register at any time. Full company details are on our Impressum. You can reach us any time at [email protected].

By booking a place, paying a deposit, joining one of our online programmes, buying our kit, or attending a Swimpros camp or event, you (the "participant", or the parent/guardian booking on a minor's behalf) agree to these Terms.

2.What these Terms cover

We sell three things, and these Terms cover all of them:

  • Camps and training events — swim camps, training camps, weekend and day courses, in Switzerland and abroad, residential and non-residential.
  • Online programmes, courses and memberships — mental training, sports psychology and coaching delivered digitally, including access to our online community.
  • Swimpros kit and apparel — branded clothing and equipment supplied alongside our camps and programmes.

Where a section below applies to only one of these, it says so.

3.Bookings and deposits

  • A place is reserved only once the deposit is paid and confirmed. Places are limited and offered first-come, first-served.
  • The deposit is CHF 1'000 per participant, unless a specific camp states otherwise.
  • Book-your-flights week. For the first seven (7) days after the deposit is paid, the place is held while you arrange travel. If the flights do not work out and you tell us in writing within those seven days, you get the full deposit back.
  • Once the book-your-flights week has passed, the deposit is non-refundable but transferable: if the participant cannot attend and you tell us in writing at least three (3) months before the camp start date, we roll the full deposit over to any future Swimpros camp (subject to availability).
  • The remaining balance is due three (3) months before the camp start date. If it is not paid by then, we may release the place and treat the booking as cancelled by you.
  • Prices are in Swiss francs (CHF), per participant, and are the total price payable for the place described.

4.What is included

What each camp includes is described on the relevant camp page at the time of booking. A residential place typically includes coaching, training, accommodation, meals and airport transfer. A non-residential place includes coaching and training only, and the participant stays with their own family.

Flights and travel to and from the venue are never included unless we state so in writing. Anything not listed as included is the participant's own responsibility.

5.Travel and accommodation for residential places

For residential places we arrange the accommodation, the meals and the airport transfer at the camp location, and we are the organiser of those arrangements. We select and work with reputable local venues and providers.

We are not a flight agent and we do not sell, book or arrange your flights. You book your own travel to and from the camp, which is why the book-your-flights week in Section 3 exists.

Tell us your travel times. Flights that do not line up with the camp schedule are normal and we work around them. If your swimmer lands after the orientation, a coach runs it with them one to one. If they leave before the final morning, we bring their end-of-camp race day forward. Book what works for your family and tell us the times.

6.Payment

Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider (Stripe). We do not store your full card details. You confirm you are authorised to use the payment method provided.

7.Cancellation, changes and refunds

  • If you cancel within the book-your-flights week: full deposit back (Section 3).
  • If you cancel 3 months or more before the start date: the deposit is non-refundable but is rolled over to a future Swimpros camp. Any balance already paid is refunded.
  • If you cancel less than 3 months before the start date: fees paid are non-refundable, because we have by then committed to venue, accommodation and staffing costs on your behalf. We will always try to help where we reasonably can.

If we change or cancel a camp: we may change the dates, venue, coaches, schedule or programme where reasonably necessary. If we make a significant change or cancel a camp entirely (and not because of your conduct or a force-majeure event under Section 13), you may choose either a transfer to another camp or a refund of the amounts you have paid for that camp. That is the limit of our responsibility for such changes.

8.Health, safety and insurance

  • The participant must be physically fit to take part in intensive swim training. You must tell us in writing, before the camp, about any medical condition, allergy, injury or need relevant to safe participation.
  • Travel and health insurance is mandatory. Each participant must have valid insurance covering medical treatment, accident and repatriation for the whole camp and travel. Swimpros does not provide and does not arrange personal travel or health insurance.
  • We follow reasonable safeguarding and supervision practices and our staff are appropriately certified. Swimming and sport carry inherent risks, and participation is at the participant's own risk to the extent permitted by law.

9.Minors and parental consent

If the participant is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must make the booking, agree to these Terms, and provide accurate emergency-contact and medical information. The parent/guardian grants the consents in these Terms (including Section 10) on the participant's behalf.

10.Photography and media

We take photos and videos during camps, both for our records and to show what we do on our website, in our social media and in our community. By attending, you consent to Swimpros using such images and footage.

If you do not want a participant's image used, tell us in writing at [email protected] before the camp and we will respect it. You can also withdraw that consent later at any time: write to the same address, tell us what you want taken down, and we will remove it from anything we control.

11.Conduct and community

  • Participants are expected to behave respectfully toward coaches, staff, other participants and the venue. We may remove any participant for behaviour that is unsafe, seriously disruptive or unlawful, without refund.
  • Our online community is currently hosted on Skool, a third-party platform with its own terms. Members must follow the community rules; we may remove members who breach them.

12.Online programmes, courses and memberships

Alongside camps we offer digital coaching products: online programmes, courses, memberships and access to our community.

  • Access is personal to you. Please do not share your login, and do not copy, redistribute or resell our material.
  • All content stays our intellectual property. You get a licence to use it for your own training, nothing more.
  • A paid membership runs for the period you bought and, unless stated otherwise at checkout, does not renew automatically. Where a membership does renew, we say so clearly before you pay and you can cancel it before the next period starts.
  • We may update, improve or retire programme content over time. If we withdraw something you have paid for and cannot offer a fair equivalent, we refund the unused part.
  • Our coaching is training guidance, not medical advice. If in doubt about fitness to train, speak to a doctor.

13.Kit and apparel

Where we supply Swimpros-branded clothing or equipment, sizes and print names are taken from what you give us, so please check them before you confirm. Items personalised with a name cannot be returned unless they are faulty. For anything else, tell us within 14 days of receiving it and we will arrange a return or replacement. Faulty goods are always put right.

14.Force majeure

We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control (for example extreme weather, natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, war, strike, or venue closure). In such cases we will offer a transfer to a future camp or a credit where reasonably possible.

15.Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Swiss law: we are liable only for damage we cause through our intent or gross negligence, and liability for slight negligence is excluded. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost, stolen or damaged personal belongings, or for the acts of third parties (including the venue, transport providers, the payment provider or the community platform). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot be excluded under mandatory Swiss law, including for death or personal injury caused by our intent or gross negligence.

16.Data protection

We handle personal data in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies, the EU GDPR. We collect the information needed to run the camp and our programmes (contact, swimmer and health details, and payment records) and use it only for that purpose and related communication. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail, or write to [email protected] with any question about your data.

17.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version that applies to your booking is the one published here at the time you book.

18.Questions and complaints

If something is wrong, tell us first and give us the chance to fix it. Write to [email protected] with what happened and what you would like done. We answer every complaint, and we would far rather sort it out directly than have you take it anywhere else.

19.Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction for any dispute is the courts of Zürich, Switzerland, subject to any mandatory place of jurisdiction for consumers under Swiss law.
