All instructors will be wearing face shields and socially distancing as much as possible given the nature of teaching swim lessons.
Each level has specific prerequisites. If you are unsure of placement for your swimmer, we will be more than happy to conduct a swim evaluation. Please contact the Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex for details or to schedule your child’s evaluation.
If for some reason we must cancel a class, every effort will be made to provide a make-up session. Unfortunately, due to the nature of group swim lessons we do not offer makeup classes that are missed by participants. If you want to stay after class for open swim, we ask that you please return to the front desk to pay the daily rate. Open swim is not included in the fee for swim lessons or private lessons.
We do not offer refunds for swim lessons unless the class was canceled by the Parks & Recreation District.
We ask that all participants wear a swimsuit while in the water. If your child is not potty trained, they are required to wear a swim diaper. Participants may bring goggles to wear during the lesson. Please ensure that you write your child’s name on the googles.
Features a swim bracelet system that is an immediate, effective, and fun way to recognize your child’s progress. Each skill your child will learn in the course is abbreviated and printed on the bracelet next to a star. When your child masters the skill, the instructor will use a “special puncher” and punch out the star next to the new skill your child has demonstrated he/she has learned. Upon successful completion of each skill abbreviated on the child’s present bracelet, you will know that your child is ready for the next level. After registration and attending the first class, your child will be presented with a new color bracelet for the next level. Not only do the bracelets serve as a reward, they also serve as an indicator of the child’s skill level. Bracelets should be worn to each class.
