Note to parents and spectators

We appreciate and encourage you supporting your swimmer through your presence at the pool deck during their lesson. Some of the following information can enhance this collaborative support for each swimmer.

  • Please encourage your swimmer to limit conversations with you to before and after class, except in urgent situations. Talking disrupts the flow of the class and your swimmer may miss important information from the instructor.
  • Please sit in the designated seating areas. This will help the lifeguards to see and respond to emergencies effectively.
  • If your child is of public school age please have them in gender appropriate dressing areas.
  • If you have any questions or concerns please talk to the head instructor on deck or call 867-6770.
