KNOW BEFORE YOU GO! All children must be at least 4 years of age to attend lessons on their own and MUST meet the height requirement for each specific pool from the bottom of your child’s feet to their chin in the shallow end. Parent & Child classes are exempt from the height requirement. • Nathan Hale High School - 38 inches chin to toes • Frank Lloyd Wright Intermediate - 36 inches chin to toes Participants must pass all skills to move to the next level. Class length: Parent & Child and Level 1: 30 minutes; Level 2-7: 50 minutes; Level 8: 1 hour. Swim goggles are recommended for Levels 3-8. If you have any questions regarding swim level classification, contact Beau Benner at 414-604-4951 or bennerb@wawmsd.org. The WAWM RCS Department reserves the right to move your child out of a level for their own safety. Water and air temperature is regulated by the District’s Facilities & Operations Department, not the WAWM RCS Department. They make every attempt to maintain a pool temperature of 82 degrees.
SAFETY FIRST - POOL REGULATIONS Per state code, all swimmers must thoroughly rinse off in the shower before entering the pool. Swim caps are required of all swimmers whose hair is long or controlled by hair spray or oil. Caps are sold at the pool for $2. Do not bring valuables to the pool. The WAWM RCS Department is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. Any swimmer who has entered kindergarten must use their respective male/female locker room. Locker room attendants are available to assist. Per state law, use of cell phones and electronic devices are prohibited in locker rooms. Street shoes are not allowed in the pool area. Shoes must be removed. Clean sandals or slippers may be worn. For safety purposes, parents/guardians are not allowed on the pool deck during lessons unless approved by the Program Manager.
