SWIM LESSON PROCEDURES:
Illness: If your child has a cold, but is eating well and acting as normal, bring him or her to class. The pool chemicals meet the highest standards, and the moist air will be beneficial. Please do not bring a child who has a fever, is not eating and listless, or shows signs of bacterial infections.

Cancellations: In instances of shutdowns caused by health and safety considerations such as fecal and vomiting incidents, swim classes will be made up on Fridays. There will be no make-ups for missed classes unless cancelled by St. Andrew's for reasons within its control.

Diapers: Children who are not yet potty-trained must wear a disposable swim diaper. These are available for purchase at the front desk. Plastic training pants or regular diapers are NOT allowed. Please, no regular diapers under the swim diaper, as these become saturated with water and weigh down the child.

Class Completion: Certificates cards are presented to our students at the endof each completed session. They signify the successful completion of very specific skills. Please be sure to check with the instructor before signing your child up for the next level.|
