If someone else is picking up your child, please inform one of the instructors at the beginning of the class. Admission to programs will not be allowed to children who show obvious signs of illness or health conditions that would compromise their safety or the health and safety of others. This includes communicable diseases, flu, watery eyes, runny nose, cold, fever, etc. If a child does not feel well during a program, parents will be called to pick them up. If your child is participating in a program that is held in a gymnasium, we would appreciate that you send your child with indoor shoes, as outdoor footwear is not allowed.

Participant Behaviour Guidelines For all participants, we want to ensure we encourage and create an environment of trust, safety and above all, fun! We will not accept disrespectful or aggressive behaviour. Our staff is trained to address inappropriate behaviour from participants of all ages. While we make every reasonable effort to ensure the enjoyment of all participants, if inappropriate behaviour is not changed, a participant’s actions may lead to removal from our programs and services.

Learn to Swim Information Learning to swim is a progressive process

Can I make up lessons?

Your child will progress along the learning continuum at his/her own rate, and it may take more than one session to complete each level. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s lessons, please do not hesitate to talk to the ondeck supervisor immediately. We appreciate your feedback and can usually solve your concerns as soon as we know about them.

Please plan your schedule carefully for swimming lessons because there will be no make-up lessons or credits for missed classes. Please see our refund policy for more information. If we cancel classes due to inclement weather, pool fouling, etc., we will do our best to add additional classes at the end. If we cannot make up the class you will be credited for the missed lesson.

What level should I enrol in?

Can I watch my child during lessons or can I leave?

Take a look at the descriptions below each swimming level for the prerequisites for each level. If you are still unsure of the appropriate level, or if you have not taken lessons with us before, we can arrange for an assessment by one of our aquatic staff.

Taken lessons before?

Please review your child’s progress report at the end of each session to determine if your child has completed all the knowledge and skill items necessary to progress to the next level.

What do we bring?

Just a swimsuit and a towel. Some people like to wear goggles when they swim, but they are not necessary. All children who are not toilet trained are required to wear a plasticized bathing suit or plastic pants over their bathing suit. Please, no disposable diapers. Also, if you have progress reports from previous swimming lessons it is a good idea to bring those to the Instructors. This will give them a better idea of any remaining skills that need to be worked on.

52 | Spring/Summer 2014

Experience has shown us that your child is better able to concentrate on his/her swimming lessons without additional on-deck distractions. You are welcome to watch your child from the upstairs viewing area at the Recreation Complex or the foyer at Dunbarton Pool. We suggest that you do not leave the premises as lessons run for 30 or 45 minutes. We will have Open House on weeks 5 and 10 for lessons at the Recreation Complex and weeks 3, 5, and 10 at Dunbarton Pool. During this time you are welcome to remove your street shoes and stay on the pool deck.

Please help us to prevent cancellations by feeding your child after lessons or at least one hour before.

Due to the large number of program participants, we are unable to accept requests for specific instructors.

floats, glides and kicks. This level is participation-based only, without formal

evaluation. In Sea Otter all skills are assisted by the Instructor. Using games and

activities, swimmers learn to open their eyes under water, further develop basic

skills. Swimmers are evaluated based on performance criteria and progress to Salamander once all criteria have been successfully completed. Swimmers enter Salamander when they have successfully completed Sea Otter. In Salamander, using games and activities, swimmers learn to swim 2 metres, further develop basic floats and increase their distance on front and back glide. Front swim and roll-over glide are also included, and swimmers learn appropriate water safety skills such as how to jump into chest-deep water and how to use a Personal Flotation Device (PFD).

Safety skills development includes water orientation, safe entries and exits and only swimming when an adult is present. Swimmers are evaluated based on performance criteria and progress to Sunfish once all criteria have been successfully completed.
