Aquatics 2013 Swim Lesson Information - Dates and Times on Page 11 - Page 15! The swim lessons offered through Lakes Area Recreation are designed to teach participants lifelong swimming skills and provide training in basic water safety and how to help a swimmer in distress. In addition to the skills outlined under each level, swim lesson courses are intended to provide a positive learning experience so participants can feel comfortable and enjoy the water safely. Because our courses are progressive, with each level building on the skills previously learned, the prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of the skills from the preceding level, with the exception of Beginner 1. To ensure participants are placed in the appropriate swim level, the first day of lessons is for skill level assessment. Participants will be expected to successfully demonstrate all of the completion requirements for the previous level before being able to continue on in the level they are enrolled in. Participants will be transferred up or down a level that is more appropriate and better suited to meet their skill level and needs if the prerequisite skills are not met the first day of class. Please try to place your child in the appropriate level! Lakes Area Recreation does keep track year to year - if you are unsure of your child‟s placement, please call the LAR office and speak with the Aquatics Director.

Swim Lesson Policies: There are no make up lessons. Minimum enrollment for each class is four students. Classes may be cancelled or combined due to low enrollment. Lakes Area Recreation reserves the right to make program and schedule changes, or to cancel a class with an insufficient amount of participants registered. All fees are nonrefundable except in the case of illness documented by a physician or cancellation by Lakes Area Recreation. A transaction fee of $2 will be assessed for transfers to other sessions or class times that are not the result of a decision made by Lakes Area Recreation staff. Parents are not allowed on the pool deck at any time during the course of lessons – the Aquatic Manager and instructors are available before and after classes for questions and comments.

A note about your child‟s class placement: Please understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Age is often a convenient marker used to understand and measure motor skill development, however an increase in age does not automatically result in improvement or acquisition of a skill. Differences in body size, knowledge, skills, learning styles, personalities, and experiences all affect individual skill development. It should be expected a child will repeat any given level several times before fully mastering all skills required at that level. Age prerequisites for PS1/PS2 & B1 are still in place and enforced.

Reggie states: “Tennis is a life-long sport that can be enjoyed by all ages, especially youth. The main focus of this program will be learning the basic fundamentals of tennis and having tons of fun in the process. The more that I am around tennis, even at the college level, I believe that enjoying this game is the best thing you can accomplish as a player. I also agree that personal improvement of individual skills is a vital aspect of enjoying tennis.”

Lakes Area Recreation is excited to offer tennis lessons for all levels. Students are asked to bring a tennis racquet and water bottle. Tennis balls will be provided. Students must wear tennis shoes (no sandals). Eight lessons are scheduled in each session. Make-up lessons will be scheduled for time missed because of inclement weather on Fridays.
