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.|
