Policies

​

ATTENDANCE & ATTIRE- Please arrive at your child's class on time. Arriving late disrupts the flow of classes currently in session. Have swimmers ready in bathing suits and goggles. Please pick up promptly at the end of the scheduled class. Swimmers who are not toilet trained MUST have a swim diaper on with elastic at the legs and waist. If swimmers have long hair it should be tied back so it will not get in their face during lessons.

 

OBSERVATION- We encourage parents to be active participants in their child’s learning process, but we also ask for you to keep your presence during swim lessons to a minimum. Swim Lessons are a perfect time for your child to explore their independence and confidence in a safe environment. There are certain instances where your presence can detract from your child’s ability to learn. We ask that you remain along pool walls/fences and approximately 10-12 feet away on beaches.

 

MISSED CLASSES - Make-ups are only held for classes canceled by the POA for bad weather and if we can find a make up time. We do not offer make-up classes for classes you have missed.

 

COMMUNICATION - Please sign up for Remind. This can be done 2 different ways.

Make sure your settings are on to allow text messaging for fastest updates. We will use this for all classes. You can reach out to the Supervisors through this app.

 

COSTS FOR CLASSES - $75 for Sat./Sun, $90 for weekdays (Breakdown is $7.50 a class)
