What you need to know

Each day:

• Apply sunscreen at home before class. If sunscreen is not applied 30 minutes before class, it can run into the eyes and burn.
• Bring two dry towels.
• Put on swim diapers for those who are not potty trained.
• Please trim nails and pull hair back off the face.
• Your balance is due on the first day of class.
• Parents ask about wearing goggles during swimming lessons. I am hesitant to allow children to wear goggles unless there are extreme sensitivities to chlorinated water. Your child may wear them only if they are completely accustomed to wearing them.  If your child has to “re-adjust” after each time in the water, I will ask them to put them on their towel until after swimming. I will not encourage them to bring them the following day. I want every child to get the full benefit of their lesson and sometimes goggles can pose as a distraction.
• Please be considerate of our neighbor's driveways while parking in our small cul-de-sac.
