Learn To Swim Classes (during the school year)

Class offerings for children ages 5 to 7 years old are extremely limited during the school year.

Those already enrolled in the previous session are given the opportunity to re-register for the

next session, leaving few open spots to be filled. Any open spots are then offered to candidates

whose parents have asked to be placed on a wait list (some parents have placed their children

on our wait list a year or more before their child turns 5). Prospective candidates must match the

age and skill level of the class where the opening  arises. In some cases, when a new class can be

created, spots would be offered to the youngest ones on the list. There is no guarantee that

anyone on a wait list will be offered a spot as there simply are not enough classes available

during the school year.
