VisionThe
goal of our program is to allow your child to adjust
physically and mentally to the water and to develop his/her
highest potential. Our classes are designed to be safe,
educational and promote values of caring, respect and
responsibility. Our Swim Lessons also encompass personal
safety, personal growth, stroke development, water sports &
games as well as rescue/safety skills. As parents, we know that you may have questions from time to time. For that reason, we are providing this parent handbook full of information that you will need to know for a successful lesson experience. Please take the time to read and review the handbook. We hope you and your child enjoy the program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 444.8222 ext. 24. Sincerely, Jane Austin Aquatics Director |

Make ups/Credits
We do not offer make up lessons for missed
classes. Program fees are non-refundable after the start of the
session.
Class Cancellations
In the event that a class does
not have the minimum number of participants Five Points reserves the
right to cancel that class. We will then try to combine those
participants into another class. If after a class is cancelled for
lack of participants where a combination cannot be made, a refund
will be processed.
Locker Rooms
Children over the age of five
must enter the locker room with the same gender parent. It is highly
recommended that you bring your child already changed in their
bathing suit. This will help get them to class on time. A family
locker room is available.
Showers
Before a participant enters
the pool room they must shower to remove body oil, sweat,
lotions, deodorants, and perfumes and helps us keep the pool clean
and reduce the chemicals in the pool. When the participant is
finished with the lesson, rinse them off
with soap to get the
chlorine off their skin and to prevent dryness.
Start of Class
We make every effort to start each class on time. For safety’s sake,
if your child arrives
early, they should sit on the deck chairs
with their parent or guardian until the instructor takes attendance.
We require you to carry your receipt of the class with you on the
first day for any issues regarding registration.
Please remind
your child to use the bathroom before all swimming classes.
Parent Observation
You are invited and encouraged to observe your
child’s swim lesson during the session.
When you observe the
class please sit on the deck chairs– do not stand at the edge of the
pool which is very distracting to the child and the instructor.
Please do not allow siblings who are observing the lessons to stand,
jump or crawl around the pool area. Also, please remember that food
is not permitted in the pool area. Toys should be kept off the deck.
Any obstructions on the deck could result in injury or the inability
for a lifeguard to respond to an emergency.
Registration
It is
very important that you sign your child up as soon as possible.
Classes fill quickly
especially on Saturdays. Private lessons
also fill quickly and space is limited. At
times we may be able
to add private lessons however we cannot add children into a group
lesson once it is full. We observe all ratios as described in our
swim lesson descriptions.
Progress Reports
So you will know
how your child is progressing, progress reports will be handed out
during the last week of the four (4) week session. Skills mastered
and needing improvement as well as comments from the instructor will
be included. Class levels are designed so skills will continue from
those previously learned.

Parent-Tot lessons are offered for children 6-24 months. Children in this level must be accompanied in the water by a parent or adult at all times. The primary objective at this level is for the child to have fun and become more comfortable in the water while learning basic aquatic movements. The instructor will lead parents in a variety of games and songs which will result in teaching the child through positive reinforcement. Children must have swim diapers under their swim suit. These classes meet in the warm leisure pool for added comfort.
