When should sunscreen be applied?

Does my child need a swim cap or goggles?
Once a student has earned their goggles, they may bring goggles to use in class. Long hair should be up in a tight bun or ponytail during class. Swim caps are optional but are helpful once a swimmer starts swimming laps.

Should I come to class if it’s raining at my house?
Weather related cancellations are based on imminent and present safety concerns at the Aquatic Center. Florida boasts the highest number of lightning strikes in the US; however, it rains a lot more often than we have the threat of lightning and we do not typically cancel due to rain. With the unpredictable behavior of storms, it may be impossible to anticipate whether your class may be cancelled until class is about to begin. We understand that although it may be frustrating at times, we make every effort to provide you with the class you registered for at the agreed time; therefore, cancellations may be last minute or even during class. In the rare cases when classes are cancelled due to weather, you will be notified with as much notice as possible and a make-up opportunity will be provided at your next class time.

What if my child cries?
It is very common for a child to be nervous or cry when beginning something new. Our instructors are trained to handle the most apprehensive students gently and with great care. It is important for the instructors to build a relationship of trust with each child without the distraction or interference of well-intentioned family members. Parents and family members can support their student by being their biggest cheerleader and offering hugs, kisses, and encouragement after each lesson!
