From Monday, October 20 to Sunday, October 27, we will be engaging in Parent-Teacher updates and Safety Week. Read below to see what programming will look like during this time period.
Safety Week
Our lessons will have a primary focus on the safety skills required to complete all Swim for Life lessons. These safety skills will be taught through a variety of games and activities both on the pool deck and in the water.
As part of our commitment to drowning prevention, we look forward to continuing your child’s education in water safety. We ask that all students in Swimmer 2 and above please bring an extra set of clothes that can go in the water. This practice helps them learn how to handle unexpected situations if they fall into the water fully clothed.
Parent-Teacher Updates
Additionally, instructors will be allocating the last 5 minutes of their classes to connect with parents. To make the most of this time, please:
-
Arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled end time of the lesson
-
Remove any outdoor shoes prior to entering the change rooms and pool deck
-
Enter the pool deck via the universal change room
Thank you, and we look forward to a fun and informative week!
