Pool Rules | Preparing your swimmer | Special request from Instructor
Our pool is a salt-water pool which prevents eye
discomfort, skin dryness and the heavy chlorine smell present in standard
pools. Water quality is higher with a salt system which is much
healthier for your child.

Your child needs a positive introduction to
swimming.
Please help us make this happen by following a
few suggestions:
-
Talk positively about upcoming classes
-
If age
appropriate, encourage “bath tub swimming” (opening eyes under
water, blowing bubbles, pouring water over their head, etc.)
-
Discontinue any use of floaties, rings, inflatable bathsuits once class has begun. In reality, these
are “babysitters” and will not promote the skill of swimming
-
Before coming to class, make sure your child is well rested, not hungry, and has gone to the
bathroom.
-
Bathsuits that fit snug and do not come untied, etc., are preferred
-
REQUIREMENT!! All children should wear some sort of shoes like flip-flops. The concrete gets VERY HOT in the summer months.

Special Requests from your Swim Masters Instructor:
-
Please
arrive five minutes prior to the beginning of your class. We like
to start and end on time!
-
All
students
MUST wear flip-flops/sandals
and bring a towel to dry off.
-
Parents,
grandparents, etc., are welcome to stay and watch as long as your
child and the class can remain focused and cooperative.
-
If the
instructor feels that your child will learn better without you
there, you will be asked “to drop your child off.” You are welcome
to watch through the fence.
-
All young ladies are required to have
their hair pulled back so that when wet, their hair is not in their
eyes! Swim caps work great! It is very hard to teach
breathing techniques when the hair is a distraction.
