Children 9 yrs and under must have a parent on the pool deck area. If the pool area is too hot the are chairs in the Aquatics Office and on the back deck by the baby pool.
Make-up policy: Due to the indoor pool not being grounded, the pool area will close for thunder and/or lightning. We must clear the pool deck for 15 minutes if thunder is heard, and 30 minutes for lightning. If there is bad weather and the pool must close, we will conduct our Safety Day. On the account of no bad weather during the session, Safety Day is to be conducted during the seventh lesson. Please do not allow your child to skip Safety Day. This is a very important lesson and is part of the YMCA’s swim program. There are requirements on your child’s certificate that are only completed on Safety Day, these skills can only be checked off by the instructor if the child attends class. Make up days for the second storm day of the session are to be held on Friday of that week, unless notified by your child’s teacher.
THE YMCA AQUATICS DEPARTMENT DOES NOT OFFER MAKE-UP LESSONS FOR REASONS OTHER THAN BAD WEATHER OR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS.
Private Lesson Policy: For students registered for private lessons, an instructor will be assigned to you within one week of registration. It is the responsibility of the swimmer /parent to schedule all swim lessons with the instructor according to individual availability. Cancellation of lessons due to any other reason than inclement weather and or pool maintenance must be made by 6pm the day before the lesson. Lesson may be rescheduled no more than three times . If the instructor is not notified the day prior to the lesson scheduled and the swimmer does not show up, the swimmer will be charged for the lesson.
