Safety routines
At the front desk
Swimmers sign in at the desk, rinse, and wait on the bench until their cap color is called. Walking feet on the deck, every time.
In the water
An instructor is in the water or on the step beside every swimmer, and every level practices getting to the wall.
Adults at the pool
A parent or guardian stays on site during every class, and lessons are no substitute for adult supervision, here or anywhere else there is water.
When someone is unwell
Please keep a swimmer home with a fever or a stomach bug and we will offer a make-up class. The deck and benches are rinsed every evening.
Snow and ice
We text families by early afternoon when the roads are too icy for us to open, and a class missed for a closure is made up in the same session.
What we ask you to tell us
Tell us what helps your swimmer at the placement visit. We ask for anything more privately once you register, never on this website.

See it in person
A placement visit includes a walk past the deck, the lobby and the window where parents watch.
