If the class you are registering for is full, please register for the waitlist. The waitlist allows us to better serve you. We will work to move you into the class as staffing allows and notify you upon placement. Participants, ages 3 and up, experience success with fundamental skills. A parent or household member (at least 15 years old) must accompany the child in the water. Each student and household member will have a roped off area to provide social distance. The instructor will wear a face mask and teach from the deck. Skills will be taught based on individual ability and progress made throughout the class. Multiple children in Preschool levels and Level 1 from the same family or household may be in the same roped off area. One parent/household member for two children is allowed. Safety topics: Basic water safety, healthy swimming, safe water entry, helping yourself and others in an emergency, use of lifejackets, safe weather conditions for swimming and waterpark safety. Course format: Classes run 45 minutes with three students and household member pairs per instructor.
