• If you decide to sign your child up for multiple Lesson Sessions, they must be the same level, even if they passed unless we deem necessary to move them. This is critical for teacher/participant ratio and planning. Students may pass the base level skills but may not be ready for the next level due to deeper water or longer distances required to swim.

• Yellow 1 & 2 are 30 minute lessons. Blue 1 & 2, Green 1 & 2, and Orange 1 & 2 are 45 minute lessons.

• Call the office if you need help determining what level your child should be in. We have last year’s records.

• Classes need a minimum of 4 participants to be held. If a class needs to be canceled, we will do our best to find a session & time that works for you, if we cannot you will receive a credit on your ActiveNet account.

• If participants is under 9 year old, a guardian must bring them to the facility and pick up. If they choose to stay during lessons there are designated areas.

• All lessons are Monday-Thursday for 2 weeks. If a class is canceled because of weather it will be made up on that same Friday.

• We do our best to have lessons each day and will only cancel because of storms that produce thunder or lightning. We will still have lessons on cool days, but those will be based out of water with safety lessons, facility tours, and even practicing skills on the pool deck.
