Helpful Hints:

• Make sure you have selected the appropriate level. Transfers to another level after registration will incur a $10 transfer fee.
• If it has been more than 6 months since their last session, we recommend the child repeat the last level they completed.
• Most children remain at the same level for two or more sessions.
• If unsure which level your child is in, please refer to the lesson levels description and pick the level you are sure they can complete the skills in.
• Your child will not be moved to a different level or class if registered incorrectly. You will have to pay the transfer fee and space is not guaranteed in the next level.
• Make sure that your child has a swimsuit and towel at each lesson.
• Swim caps and goggles are optional.
