SWIM LESSONS Registration Deadlines: Registration deadlines are firm. We will not accept registrations after the deadline, so please register in advance to ensure your class is available.
REGISTRATION CLOSES:
MON/WED CLASSES: THURSDAY BEFORE AT 12:00 PM TUES/THURS CLASSES: FRIDAY BEFORE AT 12:00 PM SATURDAY CLASSES: TUESDAY BEFORE AT 12:00 PM
Refund/Makeup Policy: Due to the popularity of our program, we have a strict refund policy. You have 24 hours from the time of registration in which to request a refund (all refunds have a $15 processing fee), or transfer to another time/session (based on class availability). After 24 hours, there are no refunds given. Transfer may be granted up to 3 business days prior to the session starting if space is available. Transfers require a $15 processing fee. Please note: There are NO make-up classes and/or credits/refunds for any classes missed due to accident, injury, illness, or personal scheduling conflicts. Doctor’s notes will not be accepted.
Swim Lesson Policy/Proficiency All swimmers age 5 and under must have a parent or guardian on the deck with them. Only participating children 5 and under and one parent may enter the pool deck. Swimmers 6 to 17 years of age will not be allowed an adult on the deck and must have a completed waiver on file. Students must have a specific mastery of the skills/proficiency before moving to the next level, as well as meet all the exit skill requirements. Proficiency is determined by staff and your child may be moved to a more appropriate level class. Classes may be combined due to class registration and staffing.
Combination Levels In order to better transition from one level to the next, we are now offering combination classes that incorporate skills from two consecutive levels. Please see Preschool and Youth lessons for class information.
The Silliman Family Activity and Aquatic Center provides the highest quality of swim instruction available. We look at swim instruction as a necessary life skill and want to make swimming an enjoyable lifelong activity for you and your family. Lessons are tailored to age and skill within a set level system. If after reading the level descriptions, you are unsure which level your child should be in, please schedule a swim level assessment by emailing Aquatic Coordinator Stacy Burton at stacy.burton@newark.org
