What you can do

Follow each charge from booking to receipt

A payment belongs to a member and a booking. When a chargeable booking is confirmed, a payment is raised as Pending for the amount due. When the money arrives, by card at the desk or online, the Accounts Coordinator records the amount and received date and marks it Confirmed. A refund after a cancellation is marked Refunded once the Aquatics Manager approves it.

Keeping the charge on the booking answers the usual questions quickly: which session it was for, when it was paid and whether any of it went back.

How the work is organized

  • Pending charges on one list. The desk collects them at arrival.
  • Confirmation on receipt. A payment is Confirmed only when the money is in hand or the provider confirms it.
  • Refunds approved by the manager. The Aquatics Manager decides; accounts records it.

What to agree during setup

Agree which bookings raise a charge: casual swims, lane hire, lessons outside a plan. Set the refund policy for member cancellations and for sessions the pool cancels, such as after a water check failure. Agree how online payments are confirmed and matched.

Check the handoff on an actual case

The triathlon club’s lane hire raises a pending charge for two lanes. The coach pays by card on arrival; the Accounts Coordinator matches the terminal receipt and confirms the payment.

The next week, a water check closes the main pool and the lane hire session is cancelled. The front desk cancels the club’s booking, the Aquatics Manager approves a full refund, and accounts marks the payment Refunded once the card refund goes through.

At the end of each day, the Accounts Coordinator compares confirmed payments with the card terminal and online provider reports, and the front desk follows up any charge still pending for a swimmer who has already attended. Refunds issued for pool closures are listed together so the manager can see the cost of each closure.
