WATER SAFETY is a vital part of your swimming experience. Classes are closely supervised from the deck by a highly trained and certified Aquatic Director. Their main objective is to ensure safety at the pool, quality of the program, and to answer any question you may have. Our small teacher to student ratios also ensure very close attention is maintained toward every participant (most accidents involving swimming occur either on the wet pool decks or in diving accidents). All children must be chaperoned by a parent or a guardian. Following are some important rules which children should learn and plan for. For more information on water safety, you can access the National Swim School Association's water safety article.
