The American Red Cross has revamped the Learn-to-Swim program for 2009. The new skill levels are based, in part, on a child’s progression through the previous level. Various levels of swimming lessons will be taught again at TRC this summer. We will offer morning and evening classes, each with a required minimum of 4 students registered and paid for each class. We will not register more than 7 for a class with a single instructor. More than 7 will require an additional instructor for the class. A waiting list will be maintained, and additional classes will be scheduled if instructors are available. We cannot guarantee that you will get the desired time for class if you are on the waiting list. You will be notified on the weekend preceding the start of the class if your child is not enrolled in the class, or to find out if we can substitute another time. Only paid registrants are guaranteed a place in the class, and instructors are assigned once the class has 4 registered.
We will ask each child to perform certain skills on the first day of class to ensure their proper placement in the class. We want the children in each class to be as similar in skills (not necessarily in age) as possible. Please bear with us in this process. Please do not register a child for two classes in one session. We will make sure the child is in the correct class. Let us know of any special circumstances that require you child to be in a particular class or time period. In addition, do not be upset if your child is placed in another class.
