Swim Lesson Rules
1. Since this is not my house, I will not let ANY children enter and use the restroom. I know this may be extremely inconvenient but I need to respect my parents. And please please PLEASE have younger children in swim diapers if needed.
2. Parents may not watch the classes and MUST be out of sight on the gate side of the house or out in the front. On Friday, parents are more than welcome to come and watch. Again, courtesy to my parents, I cannot have you in their backyard by the garden all week. Also, from experience, the children are less distracted and work/perform better when others are not around.
3. Hair must be out of girls’ faces (hair ties, braids, bobby pins, clips). When learning and swimming the different strokes, long or even short hair gets caught in their eyes or around their arms and sometimes effects their rotary breathing when it gets caught in their mouths.
4. Private lessons will be only 1 child for 30 minutes. Any child under the age of 2 can have a 15 minute lesson if desired. Also, they must enroll in minimum of 3 classes per week. Last year I had children come randomly for private lessons and I feel that with a steady pace, more effective progress will be made. Also, I am going to be handing out certificates at the end of each private lesson. This will allow parents to see the progress that each child has made during that week. I will need at least 3 days to accomplish the various tasks for that level.
Please do not ask for special permission to go around these rules. Thank you.
