Learn to Swim 2010

Note from Debbie Concerning 2010 Schedule:

It is my sincere hope that I don’t neglect any clients with the changes I am making regarding swim lessons this summer.  Summer is always a crazy-busy time of year for me, and I am trying to do a better job this year of meeting both my family’s and the community’s needs.    That being said, I have decided to focus my efforts on non-swimmers. 

 As much as I love teaching the more advanced swimmers, teaching high school full time and offering stroke classes in the evenings really isn’t feasible.  I added that to the fact that my pool REALLY isn’t large enough to properly train swim team kids, and decided the most logical thing to do was nix all stroke classes.  I feel as if these kids are water-safe and can refine their strokes in other programs.  For what it’s worth, we tried Mayde Creek Aquatics this fall and really enjoyed it. I have also heard good things about LifeTime Fitness’ swim team classes.  I am truly sorry if the late notice regarding this change makes it hard for your children to be ready for swim team, I just feel as if I need to focus on my family and what is best for them.

 As for the summer, my plan is to teach primarily (maybe only) Beg. I and Beg. II classes.  If your child is more advanced than that, feel free to sign them up…..however, I am focusing on non-swimmers and am not going to make any promises as to how much I can work with more advanced children.  I can work them into the class and give them their fair share of time, but can’t drastically change the course of the class if they are more advanced than the other children in it.

Katy Schedule

2010 Sign Up:

All questions regarding sign-up/registration/class recommendations/fees/schedules/etc. MUST be received by Saturday, March 6 if you want them answered prior to registration. Sign up for 2010 will run from Thursday, March 11 at 7 a.m. through Friday, March 12 at midnight. ALL sign-ups should be via email. Please list your top three choices, in order, and note any dates/times that absolutely won't work. Current clients will have priority over new students.  Be sure and note on your email if you are a return client.  I will begin assigning people to classes on Saturday, March 13.   At that time, you will be notified of which class(es) you are in, and if for some reason it doesn't work out with your schedule, you will need to notify me asap but will not be guaranteed another spot. Because of the severe cut in classes, all fees (see below) must be received by Thursday, April 1. On April 2 I will drop all unpaid students from the rosters, without notification, and will begin filling spots from the waiting list.

 

 Carefully consider your family schedule, as your tuition reserves your class space even if you are not there. Remember that make-ups (for classes cancelled due to bad weather, etc.) are almost always held at the same time on the Friday following the cancelled class and if more than one make-up is needed, on the following Saturday morning.  Thus, if you want to make sure your child will be able to participate in any possible make-up classes, please keep the Friday, Saturday and even Sunday as free as possible following each week of  lessons.  Make-ups due to illness or other unforeseen events should be discussed with Debbie on an individual basis.  If you are considering multiple sessions, we suggest signing up for them now, since we expect to be full or almost full by the start of the summer.

Only those classes that do not have a FULL listed next to them are still available.  If there are only 1 or 2 spots left in the class, that number will be listed to the right of the class.
