Tips for Success
Schedule Your Lessons
After you register, your assigned swim instructor will contact you to schedule your lesson set. Typically, 2-3 lessons are scheduled per week, and your instructor will schedule your entire lesson set when he or she calls you. Consistency/repetition is key to success in learning to swim!
​
You can expect a call from the instructor starting in May. Before the instructor calls, please check your calendar for any dates that you or your child might not be available for lessons.
