Adults must stay back 10-feet from pool edge. Physical and visual distance helps our most reluctant beginners.

Goggles may be beneficial, especially from B1 and up.

Baby pool use is allowed during a sibling’s swim class.

Elastic-leg swim diaper covers are required for our youngest swimmers both in the big pool (when Toddler classes are offered) and in the baby pool.

All food is to be consumed at tables only (and please clean up after yourself).

You may arrive up to 15-minutes early for your class.

Please depart grounds within 15-minutes of class end-time.

Classes are held if it’s raining, and only cancelled for thunder or lightning. There are no make-ups for missed classes.

We are unable to offer private lessons.
