Here is what is takes to be a coach: - 1-4 hours per week depending on division (practice, game, & prep) - We supply all equipment, coaching and league information - Attend the mandatory informational coaches meeting - Coaches choose their own practice day - The seasons are around two months long - We focus on being non-competitive, fun and instructional!

- Head coaches receive a 50% discount on their child's registration.

Please visit www.covingtonwa.gov/athletics to get your coach’s application today!

Aquatics HOW TO REGISTER - *NEW PROCESS*

SWIM LESSONS LEARN-TO-SWIM

We are pleased to offer a comprehensive program designed by the American Red Cross. Classes are offered for all ages and all ability levels. Beginning levels focus on water adjustment and introduce basic swimming and water safety skills. More advanced levels concentrate on stroke development, stroke refinement and additional water safety skills.

WHAT CLASS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Placing of your child into the correct level is critical for their success. Each swimming level focuses on different skills, depending on age and ability. If your child is a beginner, they will start in the first level of either Parent & Child Aquatics, Preschool Aquatics, or Learn to Swim, depending on their age. If your child has had lessons before or has some swimming experience, their swimming ability needs to be assessed to determine the appropriate level in our swim lesson program. We provide Placement Tests free of charge during our Public Swims.

Ages 6 months-4 years 4-5 years 6-14 years 15+ years

Classes Parent & Child Aquatics Preschool Aquatics Levels 1-3 Learn to Swim Levels 1-6 & Competition Adult Lessons

*Parents are required to be in-water for Parent & Child Aquatics.

GROUP SWIM LESSONS

Group lessons are available for every skill ability and age, six months and up! Classes run in scheduled sessions: • 2 days/week (Mondays & Wednesdays) • 2 days/week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) • 1 day/week (Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays)

Swim lessons will open for viewing one month before the first session. You will be able to see which levels are offered and at what times. Registration will then open six days prior to the first day of class. All registrations for Winter and Spring 2023 will open at 10 a.m. to give all customers the same chance at getting into a session.
