Younger children may not progress as quickly as older children because their strength, coordination, and understanding of processes are developed at individual rates. An appropriate swimsuit is required at all times. A parent or responsible adult must remain in the spectator area at all times. Swim diapers are required for children under 4 years old regardless of toilet training.
It is important to enroll your child in the correct class; necessary transfers may result in the change of class days and times. There are NO REFUNDS.
