SWIM GENERAL INFORMATION

SWIM LESSONS LET’S GET STARTED!

The most important step is to make sure your child is placed in the right swim level. Staff reserves the right to move a child to a different level if the class is too challenging, so it’s best to get it right before classes start.

If you’re uncertain what level your child should be in, and/or the child has been out of lessons for a year or more, call the Swimplex at 519-886-1177 to arrange a free swim level evaluation.

Or follow the recommendations from the child’s last progress report card, and review the detailed standards of performance for each level at waterloo.ca/swim/swimlevels.

Requests for specific instructors are considered, however we are unable to guarantee all requests.

Registrations are accepted up to the start of the third lesson.

If your child requires one-on-one support in our group lessons, please call the inclusion coordinator up to 3 weeks in advance to complete a membership registration, 519-741-2200 ext. 7228. Volunteers are subject to availability.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Swimmers should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time and not earlier. Parents can escort their child on the first day to meet the instructor.

Afterwards, spectators can watch swimmers from the second floor observation gallery.

One parent is asked to meet the instructor on deck during the last 10 minutes of the sixth lesson to receive a verbal progress report.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR SWIM EXPERIENCE

A written progress report is provided at the last lesson and will identify the next recommended swim level. Badges may be purchased at the customer service desk for all Waterloo Splash and Preschool levels.

Shower with soap and water before your swim lesson.

Photography or videotaping is only permitted on the last day of lessons, subject to advance staff approval.

The use of cell phones and PDAs is strictly prohibited in City of Waterloo recreation facility change rooms, washrooms, pool decks and gallery.

Leave your valuables at home and bring a lock to secure your belongings. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Footwear is not permitted on the pool deck. Be prepared to go barefoot, or purchase reusable shoe covers at the customer service desk for 75¢.

Children who are not fully toilet trained must wear watertight elastic pants or specially designed disposable swimming diapers, available at the customer service desk for $2.00.

Do not send a child to lessons if they are not feeling well. Pool fouling affects all lessons. If a pool fouling

28

happens, lessons are conducted on the pool deck instead of in the water. Refunds/credits are not given for pool foulings.

In the event of bad weather, listen to local radio stations in case the program has been cancelled unexpectedly. We are unable to make up lessons cancelled due to emergency closures, but will credit the value of the missed class.

Session 1

Session 1

Designed for the 3 to 12 month old, this level is all about helping your child feel and explore the water - tickling, floating, splashing, reaching, paddling. You'll learn how to help your child play in and play with the water with comfort and confidence. Up to 2 parents per child may attend. Ratio 1:10.

Designed for the 12 to 24-month-old, this level teaches children to get their face wet and blow bubbles (the first step in breath control). With your guidance, your child recovers objects below the surface, performs front and back floats and learns how to travel at the surface by kicking. Up to 2 parents per child may attend. Ratio 1:10.

A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1-24 hours.

Here are some healthy habits you can take to stop the spread of germs and reduce the number of closures: • Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear “I have to go” may be too late.

• The use of a swim diaper is mandatory to enter the pool if a child is not yet fully toilet trained.

• Do not swim if you are feeling sick or have been sick in the past 24 hours. This is especially important for children in diapers.

Thank you for your assistance in keeping our pool clean!

34

• Wash your body thoroughly with soap and water before swimming.
