Superior Snaps 2023 is the maiden voyage of many future annual, resident photo contests, open to all ages, depicting resident hometown pride.

PUBLIC ART

A new sculpture is in Town, in the form of a giant orchid! If you haven’t seen it yet, the next time you’re at the Superior Community Center, say hello to the 11-foot tall orchid near the front door entrance. In February, CAPS welcomed Regenerato by artist Roger Reutimann to the Town’s public art collection. The enormous wooden sculpture was Reutimann’s artistic response to the Marshall Fire and who then generously gifted it to the residents of Superior. For Reutimann, the charred vase with the giant yellow-stained wooden orchid signifies regrowth and beauty from the ashes. Further, yellow orchids are traditionally symbolic of new beginnings and friendship.

The purpose of the Town of Superior Group Swim Lesson Program is to develop swimming competency, water safety skilss, efficient swimming skills, and confidence in a safe and fun environment.

How Do I Enroll My Child?

The summer Group Swim Lesson Class Schedule can be found online at superiorrec.com. If necessary, please reference the “Which group swim lesson class is right for your child?” chart to assist in choosing the most appropriate class during registration. Please note that participants will be screened on the first day of class and possibly moved to a more appropriate level, if required.

The online registration option at superiorrec.com provides the easiest way to register and the most accurate information on when classes are full, added or canceled.

Registration is on a first-come, first-filled basis. Don’t wait! Classes fill quickly, and attending regularly without interruption is crucial for success.

How Can I Help My Child Succeed in Swim Lessons?

The first day of class, students’ skill levels will be tested to make sure they are in the appropriate classes. If it is determined after the session begins that your child needs to be placed into a different skill level for the session, please discuss with the on-site Swim Lesson Coordinator. If there is room in another class, we will make the transfer and the class roster will be updated. If we are unable to place your child into a different class for the session, you will need to go online and register for a future session or request a class refund or household credit.

Each child progresses differently. Many swimmers need to enroll in the same level class for a minimum of two to three sessions. If your child is enrolled in a current ongoing session, and you want to register for a future session, it is highly recommended that you speak to your child’s instructor before registering. Your child’s instructor will know best what level to recommend. Doing this will also

help prevent confusion or uncertainty down the road if it’s determined your child is not in the appropriate class. Don’t wait if you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s lessons. The solutions are easiest when issues are addressed immediately. Talk with your child’s instructor or the Swim Lesson Coordinator: Eric Stefanski eric@elevationswim.com

Registration Helpful Hints

Be sure to verify at registration that your phone number and email address are accurate. Correct contact information is critical for proper notification due to cancellations, changes or waitlist enrollment opportunities.

If the desired class is full, add your child’s name to the waitlist. There may be cancellations before the start of the session due to low enrollment or a new class may be created and offered for existing waitlists.

Class sizes are a minimum of three children and a maximum of five. Classes with only two children registered may be subject to cancellation and, with parent/guardian permission, child will be transferred to a different class time in the same session. Parent/guardian can also request a class refund or household credit.

What If…

My child is sick? Please be considerate of other participants. Do not bring your child to lessons if they do not feel well. There are no credits or make-up lessons for missed classes.

Inclement weather? If a class is cancelled due to inclement weather you be notified by the Elevation Athletics Swim Lesson Coordinator. Makeup lessons will be held on Fridays, if weather permits.
