Policies and General Information
- Summer program schedules permit only one make-up class after a minimum of two rain-outs.
- Proper swim attire is required. Infant and pre-school children must wear a tight-fitting swimsuit or a swim diaper (not a regular disposable diaper) to enter the pool. Swim caps are optional. Towels, goggles and one piece bathing suit is required.
- Absence from classes may inhibit a child’s ability to advance to the next course level.
- Please be on time. Tardiness affects everyone!
- REMEMBER: Children’s ability to learn skills differ from each other. Be patient and encourage your child as much as possible. Also remember to practice and keep skills sharp.
