Dear families,
You are now able to cancel a class and book a make-up class at a later time, without needing to call or send an email to Penguins team. With this new option of “MAKE-UPS”, you will be able to cancel your attendance to your normal BABY, WHITE PENGUINS or AIPAP class, and attend another class where a place has been freed-up by another family.
To access this new functionality: you first need to log-in your personal account through Penguins website, then by entering “HORARIOS Y RESERVAS” (or directly access via https://penguins.app.keeptrack.dk/user/bookings). You should then go to “My Bookings” to cancel the specific class you cannot join; the system then gives you the possibility to book a make-up class at a different time (below, in the section “MAKE-UPS”). Here is a link to the video that explains with a small tutorial how easy it is to manage your cancellations and make-up classes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YuagZ9UCPE
Please allow us to remind few important points:

In water, for hygiene reasons, it is mandatory to use:
PENGUINS will not supply plastic shoe covers, with the aim of reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. We ask all customers (children and adults), parents or companions to come with clean pool flip flops to access the locker room and pool area.
We recommend not to bring valuable personal items (watch, swimming suit, computer, cameras…) ; PENGUINS will not be liable in case of loss or theft. Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
Here at Penguins we always sell:
Any adult over 18 years of trust of the baby! Grandparents, relatives and people who take care of the baby.
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.

Yes, no problem! You will see all details and explanation here: https://penguinsbarcelona.com/en/cambios-de-grupo/

Can I take more than one class per week? Yes, as long as you have not had any complication during your pregnancy, you can take as many classes as you wish. If there is any complication with your pregnancy, we recommend you consult your gynecologist so that he can advise you what to do.
And can I take two classes on the same day? In the case of a pregnancy without complications, there would be no problem. The AIPAP program is not counterproductive for pregnancy: the more physical activity, the better! But it is always recommended to ask your gynecologist first.
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
Can the baby take two classes a week? Yes, aquatic activity is ideal to help the baby’s physical development. More physical activity will give more autonomy to the baby, and thus more happiness! For babies with a lot of energy, who do not sleep well at night, who suffer from stomach pain… physical activity in the water is recommended.
What about 2 consecutive days? No problem! And two classes on the same day? Exceptionally, as a “make-up class” there would be no problem, but this is in general not recommended. Indeed, swimming is an intense activity for the baby, with a lot of stimulation: two classes in a row may be too much for them.
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
As a general rule the levels in Penguins are: 0-1 years = Baby Penguins 1, 1-2 years = Baby Penguins 2, 2-3 years = White Penguins. As soon as can swim on their own with 3 years old they enter the Blue Penguins group, where they swim autonomously. When your baby/child is ready to change groups, the administration team will contact you to let us know your availability in order to find a new group. Normally we anticipate a couple of months to speed up the process of searching for a new position.
If you feel that your child is ready, and nobody told you anything, please feel free to ask our swimming coordinator!

ANNUAL CALENDAR
You can consult the detailed calendar of the Penguins centers at this link: https://penguinsbarcelona.com/calendario-penguins. IMPORTANT: For the school calendar: Penguins follows the official school calendar of the “Departament d’Educació de la Generalitat de Catalunya”.
HOLIDAYS AND ANNUAL CLOSING
IMPORTANT: PENGUINS classes are paid through monthly payments: classes can not be paid separately. Monthly fees will be paid in full, even if the school year ends before the end of the month. It will not be possible to “make-up” a class which has been cancelled because of school calendar, bank holiday or annual closing. In the same way, the monthly fee will remain the same even if there are more than 4 classes in a month (ex: five tuesdays in a month).
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
VOLUNTARY UNREGISTRATION (“BAJA”):
It is essential to notify your cancellation (“baja”) by filling out this CANCELLATION FORM before the 20th of the previous month. If you notify your cancellation after the 20th of the previous month, the monthly fee will be charged in full.
Requesting a voluntary cancellation before the end of the school year will not entitle you to a refund of the amount paid for the Membership Entry Fee or the current monthly fee.
If you wish to un-register during a month, it will not be possible to ask for the return of the subscription already paid.
UNREGISTRATION for PREGNANCY PREPARATION COURSES:
The day you un-register from the AIPAP course because you will give birth, please inform us by email, to notify your request. The classes that you cannot attend will be appointed on a VOUCHER, with the amount corresponding to the classes you have not been able to join. This VOUCHER can be used later for any other activity offered by PENGUINS after childbirth. The VOUCHER can be exchanged during the current term.
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
Registration and monthly fees:
The monthly payments will exclusively be invoiced by SEPA direct debit: payments will be sent through to all accounts every month between the 1st and 5th day of every month. To avoid confusion and refunds, we ask that any change of account holder/number to be communicated to the Administration, in writing, before the 15th day of each month.
If you wish to pay by credit card or cash: a full trimester will have to be paid in advance to avoid extra administration work and charges. Absences: we remind you that paid courses cannot be refunded in case the customer cannot attend a class.
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
You simply have to enter your personal account, and in the payer’s profile enter “edit”, and change the IBAN number in the data. That’s it!
Please read our General terms and Conditions of use for more information.
In Penguins you can sign up at any time through our website: the system will automatically indicate the correct amount to be paid. On the first month, you will only pay the proportional fee, only for the classes you will attend!
