LEARN-TO-SWIM CLASSES SWIM LEVELS
GROUP SWIM LESSONS
If you are unsure what class level to enroll your child in, you may schedule to have your child evaluated by certified Lifeguard Instructors.
Our friendly and experienced instructors provide group swim lessons for ages 3–13 years old, from the beginner to the advanced swimmer. Classes are divided by age group. Preschool levels 1–3 are for children aged 3–6 years old. Youth Levels 1–5 are for children aged 7–13 years old. Please enroll in classes based on the appropriate swim level description and prerequisites. If your child does not meet the minimum requirements of the class every effort will be made to transfer them to the appropriate level. If there are no transfer options available, a refund will be processed and your child will be dropped from the class. All applicable refund fees will apply.
Please note that individuals may have to wait for a Lifeguard Instructor to become available during these times and wait times may be expected. Swim Evaluations are available only at the Verdugo Aquatic Facility. To schedule a time, please go to burbankparks.com. Swim Evaluations starting May 1st Monday – Friday 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm Saturday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm NOTE: It is strongly recommended to register for classes that the participant qualifies for. Availability for transfers is based on space and priority. Specific times and locations for transfers are not guaranteed. Classes not meeting the minimum enrollment requirement will be cancelled. Classes cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances will be made up and the date will be announced in class.
After the class meets maximum enrollment, additional participants will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if/when a space becomes available. Participants transferring from the waitlist will be charged a prorated fee based on the amount of remaining classes in the session.
PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS Private and Semi-Private lessons are geared for those that require one-to-one interaction with an instructor, or those who are looking to work on specific skills outside of a group setting. The objective of this class is to help participants feel comfortable in the water, enjoy the water safely and work towards swimming mastery. Instructors will cater the class material to each individual. Progress is based on individual needs and abilities. Due to physical distancing requirements, with the safety of our participants and instructors in mind, one parent will be required to be in the water for each lesson, unless determined unnecessary by the instructor. Instructors will be present on deck instructing participants and parents in skills, while parents will be working one-on-one with their child. Private Lessons taught in the Activity Pool are not recommended for advanced swimmers or older/taller participants. Please note that class space is limited. Class times are subject to change. Please note that flotation devices (lifejackets, water wings, etc.) are not permitted.
We offer small class ratios to improve learning, safety, and progression! 12 Summer 2021 AQUATICS GUIDE
