IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION:
**If your child has a medical condition or special needs, please contact the Aquatic Coordinator PRIOR to lessons.**
*Lessons are not "Mommy & Me"; parents are not permitted in the water with their children.*
Children are required to confidently accomplish class skills in order to benefit from lessons. It is important the information you provide accurately defines your child’s ability level. If not, exasperation plays a huge role in their swimming class time. The Aquatic Center Coordinator and Swim Instructor will encourage alternate level options as necessary for the benefit of each child. It is mandatory children remain on the pool deck until their designated class time. NO FREE SWIMMING IS PERMITTED PRIOR TO CLASS OR WHILE SIBLINGS ARE PARTICIPATING. Younger children who are not toilet trained must wear a swim diaper at all times. Please encourage older children to use the restroom prior to class as well as the dangers of fecal matter in the pool. Please encourage your children to follow the pool rules, listen to their instructor, follow directions and be kind to one another. Together, we have the ability to teach water safety and prevent drowning through our swim program. Thank you for entrusting us with your families.
