Indoor Swimming Lesson FAQ's

Swimming Lesson information
Where do I go?

We have a men’s and a women’s locker room available as well as a family changing area. Within that family area there are four locker rooms, two of which include showers and toilets and two are empty rooms for changing. All of them lead out into the pool area. Please remember to shower before entering the pool.

What do I bring?
Your child should bring a swim suit; towel and goggles are recommended for some of the levels (SCUBA style goggles that cover the nose are not allowed).

Passing Classes
Your child may not always pass a class on the first try. As with any sport, repetition and practice is essential to developing the skills necessary to progress into the next level. Each child develops motor skills and becomes comfortable in the water at different paces. Practicing these skills during open swim is strongly encouraged.

Report Cards
If your child receives an Achievement certificate, they have completed some of the skills in that level but are not ready to progress. 

If your child receives a Completion certificate, they have completed all of the skills in that level and they can be registered for the next level.

Attendance Policy
For the purpose of progression, we encourage our students to attend all of the class sessions. We understand that there are times when your child will need to miss, however if they miss 2 or more classes we will not pass them to the next level.
