Criteria for Advancement in Learn to Swim Classes 

We all know children develop at different rates; this is also true with swimming.  It is important children are encouraged every step of the way and allowed to progress at their own pace.  Small words of praise go a long way towards building your child’s self esteem and confidence. A certificate will be awarded to your child at the progression to each level.

Learn to Swim classes - Please remember, Black, Platinum, Senior squad and Junior squad swimmers need to bring their own fins to classes. Secondly, please remember to bring a water bottle with you to class. No water bottle – no swim.

Thirdly… Parents, may I kindly request you avoid sitting at the shallow end of the pool during Learn to Swim classes. It is a very noisy area with splashing and teachers calling out, and we want to try to eliminate as much background noise as possible. It would be great if you could sit at the deep end of the pool.

Finally, sometimes there are children running and climbing around the pool area. Parents, we would be grateful if you could please supervise your children. The Learn to Swim teachers need to focus on their classes, so they cannot be responsible for any unsupervised accidents outside the pool.
