Learn to Swim At the Colton Aquatics Facility Located at the Gonzales Community Center

The best way to keep your swimmer safe in any pool is to sign them up for swim lessons this summer!

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4, the second leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 4-14, and the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide for all ages. Teaching children to swim, never swimming alone, and supervising your children around the pool are critical, preventative steps toward drowning prevention. Join the Learn to Swim Program at the Colton Aquatics Facility today!

Session Fee: $76 for residents and $94 for non-residents per session.

STARTING MAY 16, REGISTER ONLINE FOR SWIM LESSONS IN 3 EASY STEPS!

1. Review the Swim Level Flowchart on the following page and select which swim lesson is most appropriate for your swimmer. In order for your child to have a positive experience in our group lessons, it is important that your swimmer is registered in the appropriate swim level. The Swim Level Descriptions on the Swim Level Flowchart on pages 6 and 7 will assist you in finding the appropriate level for you child. Swimmers DO NOT need to complete a swim evaluation prior to registering.

2. Log onto apm.activecommunities.com/Colton, and select the session you want to attend. Be sure to review the schedule on page 5 to see when your level is offered.

3. After registering online or in person, please complete a Swim Lesson Emergency Waiver to bring to your first day of class. Waivers can be emailed to you, downloaded from the city website or picked up at the Gonzales Community Center. A waiver must be submitted on the first day in order to participate in the class. f a swimmer does not meet the level requirements, they may be moved to another class, please feel free to stop by • IRecreation Swim to get a quick swim evaluation with a Lifeguard if you are unsure which lesson to enroll them in. dditional classes may be added for highly requested swim levels and time frames.
