Tips for Parents

  • Please do not feed your child within 1 hour of lessons/2 hours for dairy products.
  • Children not potty trained should wear a swim diaper; the reusable ones are the most effective.
  • 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. Regular lesson fees will apply.
  • Parents can best assist in their child’s lessons by being positive and giving lots of encouragement and praise.
  • Please call us if you are uncertain about possible inclement weather conditions, such as lightning. Weather days will be made up. Ph# 954-292-3845
  • Sicknesses are an unfortunate occurrence and we will try to make-up days whenever possible, however, they will be made-up according to openings in our schedule not necessarily at your regular scheduled time.

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.
