Tips for Parents

  • • Please do not feed your child within 1 1/2 hour of lessons.
  • • Children not potty trained should wear a swim diaper; washable or disposable are both acceptable.
  • • Diaper changing is not permitted on the pool deck due to health regulations.
  • • It is important to have your child dressed and ready to swim at the appointed time. Your child's lesson may be shortened or subject to cancellation should you arrive late.
  • • Parents can best assist in their child's lessons by being positive and giving lots of encouragement and praise.
  • • Please call the pool directly in the case of inclement weather such as lightning. Weather days will be made up. Ph# 954-452-2525
  • • Absences and sickness are an unfortunate occurrence; however, due to the intensity of scheduling it is not possible to make these days up.

Once your child has attained certain skills, we will show you proper ways to swim with your child that can enhance their learning and maintain correct form. Therefore, please do not attempt to copy what you see your instructor doing during lessons with your child. What appears easy can actually be very complicated and will only cause your child to become confused. It may also lengthen the course of their lessons.


THE SKILLS YOUR CHILD LEARNS DO NOT REPLACE THE NEED FOR CONSTANT ADULT SUPERVISION.
