Refer to the charts to find out when your choice is offered. If after reading the class descriptions you are still unsure which class level would best meet your child’s needs, you may sign your child up for a swim lesson assessment. Review the swim lesson Q&A page in the lesson drop-down list at scparks.com , or call (831) 454-7953 for assistance. • If your child has not had the opportunity to practice their swimming skills, staff recommend that they repeat the level completed last summer. • Classes fill quickly. If you are not registering in person or online, be sure to list alternate sessions and class times on your registration form. • Children typically spend 2-4 sessions in the same group level before advancing to the next level. • Each lesson lasts for a 1/2 hour. Children receive 25 minutes of swim instruction; instructors will use the last 5 minutes of the lesson to provide feedback to swimmers’ parents/guardians. • Make-up swim lessons are not available if a participant is absent. In the event that a lesson is cancelled, a credit for the cancelled class will be applied to your account.
