To ensure quality of our swim instruction program, the Assistant Director of Facilities & Aquatics determines class size. Class sizes are determined on an individual basis and vary depending on class level and instructor experience.

Each class has a minimum enrollment of 5 participants. If minimum enrollment is not met, classes may be consolidated or cancelled.
Cancellations
Cancellations made prior to the start of each session will receive a full refund. Cancellations made after the session begins will not be refunded unless a documentable illness, injury, or a special circumstance arises.

We do not offer a refund or a makeup class for participants who miss a class. If an instructor has to cancel class, the instructor will reschedule class. Participants are asked to be dressed and ready for class 5 minutes prior to the start of class. In the case that a student is late, class time cannot be made up.

Parents and/or guardians must accompany their child to swim lessons. Participants are not allowed to enter the water unless the instructor is ready for class to begin and must exit the water at the end of class. Parents and/or guardians may not leave their child unattended in the locker rooms.
