Things To Know
- Registration for the upcoming session starts during week 7 of current classes. Progress Reports are handed out. Please register your child for the level given to them on the progress report.
- If you do not know what level your child should be in, please contact the Aquatics Supervisor to schedule a time for an evaluation.
- During the first week of lessons your child will be shown where to wait for swim lessons. In the following weeks please take your child to their spot a few minutes before lessons start.
- During lessons we ask that parents sit on the bleachers or outside, not at the wall or sitting on the floor near class.
- Classes will be combined if needed so all classes run.
Missed Lessons
We will do our best to find a make-up day/time for your child in classes that are not full for the following reasons.
- If your child is sick AND a doctor's note is provided.*
- If your child missed due to a school event (concert, science fair, etc.) and you have the program from that night.*
- If there is a family emergency please contact the Aquatics Supervisor.*
*If we find this is becoming an issue and happening too many times during the session we will re-evaluate.
