Learn to Swim
Offered for children 18 months-17 yrs old (age as of first day of session date). Lessons meet for eight classes over two weeks, Monday through Thursday with Fridays used for make-up classes. In the event a swimming lesson is cancelled, a message will be placed on our homepage and you will be notified by the instructor. If there is no cancellation notice assume the class is running. Refunds/credits are not provided for missing a scheduled class.
Class Minimum/Maximum
All lessons are group classes with no more than 8 participants per instructor. Classes must reach a minimum of 6 participants to run. The registration deadline is Tuesday prior to the first day of class. We will make every attempt to run all advertised classes. If your class does not reach minimum participation requirements, you will be notified on the Thursday prior to the first class and a full refund or transfer to a future class will be available.
What if the class is full?
Register for the wait list. If space becomes available we will contact participants in the order they are listed. If we have an additional instructor available, we may be able to offer a second class at the same time.
Level Requirements
Level descriptions can be found online (link below) or in our office. If a participant is registered for a class more advanced than their ability, instructors will let you know on the first day of class. Participants may not remain in a class that is unsafe for their ability level. Every attempt will be made to transfer your registration to an appropriate level class during the same session. If this is not available, you have the option to transfer your registration to a class in a later session, or have a credit applied to your account.
