Important things to remember when signing up for swim lessons:
To determine correct level, go to General Information page and review the levels. Use these criteria to best classify your swimmer. Please note out to side if this was the previous summer or if student has been in another swimming program.
If your swimmer is under age five and has not swum since last summer, some regression is expected. To better determine actual level, keep in mind that until age five or six, if student is out of water for as many months as they are old (i.e., 2 months for a two year old, etc.), they will tend to forget their “balance” in the water. If between age two and three, children are also going through a developmental stage of experiencing fear and this may influence their relationship with the water.
We strongly recommend private for children ages four and under. If semi-private is preferred for this age group. We will schedule a semi-private within a family of relatively the same age and ability only.
Semiprivate is also recommended for older children that are beginners, and those that need to learn new strokes in a hurry (i.e., a seven year old beginning swim team in April). These swimmers might only need 3 lessons as opposed to the beginners who require 6 lessons.
Getting assigned to a specific class: When registration is received, students will be scheduled on a first come basis. Specific class times will be confirmed by telephone one to two weeks before session begins. Be sure to include your other possibilities in scheduling, in case your first choice is not available. Lessons are available starting at 11:00AM and run all the way through 6:30PM. These lessons are scheduled Tuesday-Sunday. * Keep in mind the most popular lesson times are in the morning, 11:00 – 1:30 PM during the summer.
