Returns & Warranty
All our courses are services that require time from us, to prepare our facility, for your training. This means that if you buy a course or package deal, there is no refunds possible. Before you purchase any course or package deal, we ask you to read and understand the requirements for each course as this is your responsibility. Example 1: If you buy an Open Water Course but can not swim, we can not issue you a refund. Example 2: If you buy an Extended Range Course but FAIL the In-Water Fitness Evaluation, you can redo the evaluation as many times as you want, but we will not issue you a refund.
On physical products we have a 15-day return policy, which means you have 15 days after receiving your item to request a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You will also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
To process a return, you can contact us. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like custom products, special orders and personalized items. Under no circumstances can courses or package deals on courses be refunded. Course bought are final. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item or course.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
