Admission

Read the general admission policy for entry, age, health declaration and activity requirements. Access depends on the current timetable and safe capacity.

Children’s admission

Children under 10 must have a responsible adult aged 18 or over in the water, with no more than two children per adult. Children aged 10–12 must have a responsible adult aged 18 or over in the building. A parent or guardian must remain on site during swimming lessons.

Read the child admission policy for full supervision and safety information.

Access

All visitors must register with LeisureWorld to use our services. Children must be registered by their parent or guardian. All visitors must record their attendance.

Each member/user can generate a barcode in the LeisureWorld app to gain entry. All members/users must record a visit by swiping or checking in at reception — no exceptions.

Membership Cancellation Policies

There is a 28-day notification period of your intention to cancel a monthly membership. Cancellation via phone call is not accepted.

Members must contact us via email at cancellations@leisureworldcork.com. Cancelling a direct debit with your bank is not valid notice as we are not informed of these cancellations.

If you purchase your membership online, you have 14 days to change your mind before you use your membership. Cooling off is only applicable to change of mind and non-use. LeisureWorld will waive the exclusion for services that have already started, i.e., you selected your membership to start immediately but did not use it.

Our terms and conditions will come into force automatically after the 14-day period has elapsed. In-person purchases of goods and services are not entitled to a cooling off period.

For information about your consumer rights relating to contracts, please refer to CCPC guidance on buying services and entering contracts

Membership Freeze Option

You can freeze your membership for a minimum of one month up to a maximum of 3 months. You can do this once per calendar year. Monthly members can only freeze for whole months.

Freezing of your membership can only be granted with a prior written request from the member/user and approval from management.

Periods of non-use of the facilities cannot be backdated under any circumstances. Couple members are not able to be frozen individually — both memberships must be frozen together.

Monthly Billing

Membership payments are due regardless of usage. New members agree to a minimum commitment of one full billing cycle — that is, one payment must be collected before you can terminate. This contract automatically renews after the minimum period of 1 month and will continue indefinitely unless cancelled by the member.

We require 28 days notification via email to cancellations@leisureworldcork.com of your intention to cancel a monthly membership.

Please note we cannot part-bill a month. If your next billing date falls within your notice period, you will be billed for the next full month and your membership will finish at the end of that monthly cycle. Monthly membership billing is done via direct debit.

Termination of Membership

Management reserve the right to terminate any membership for violation of any rules or regulations of the facility, or for conduct deemed by management to be detrimental to the safety and welfare, good order, or character of the facility, its staff, or its members and users.

Transfer of Membership

Memberships may not be transferred or assigned to another person. Membership deposits and fees are not refundable under any circumstances. The registered member/user is the only person that can use the membership — no sharing is permitted.

Refund Policy

A refund for non-use of membership will not be granted under any circumstances.

Courses and fitness class bookings are paid in full and non-refundable. If a class is cancelled in advance by the member/user, in line with the cancellation policy, a booking credit note will be issued to your membership account.

If a class is cancelled by the facility, a credit note will be issued to your account, or a request can be made for a refund.

Any request for refund should be made prior to your service booking commencing. Once a service booking has started, requests for refunds will be rejected.

In circumstances where a customer has been advised that they cannot make use of membership/class/course by a medical professional, we can review a request for a credit for time missed due to illness or injury if it is accompanied by an appropriate dated medical note. Any request for a medical refund must be made to the facility via email to info@leisureworldcork.com.

Returns Policy

Any product bought at LeisureWorld that is faulty should be returned accompanied with a receipt as proof of purchase. This should be done at the site the product was purchased at. Products that have been purchased and are broken by use, and not due to defects, are not eligible for a refund.
