It’s
no secret that our swim lessons are a favorite among Montgomery County parents!
Registration started in August and classes can fill up quickly. To register,
please refer to pages 26 - 40 in The Fall Montgomery County Recreation Guide and read the descriptions carefully. Then
visit RecWeb
and search on the course number for the class you wish to join to see if there
are spots available.
Here
are a few things you should know before you come.
1. For Aquatots, Waterbabies and Pre-School classes,
children who are not potty trained MUST wear separate rubber/vinyl swim pants.
In addition, an adult in a swim suit must accompany each student in the water.
2. Swimmers ages 4 and up who are
enrolled in Pre-Beginner to more advanced lessons DO NOT need a parent to
accompany them.
3. PARENTS: Please do not watch the class from the pool deck. Children are easily
distracted and your participation is not required unless your child is enrolled
in Aquatots, Waterbabies, Pre-School, or Adapted Aquatics classes.
4. Class fee covers ONLY the lesson and no other use
of the facility. No other family member is allowed to swim or use the fitness
room unless they have purchased a membership.
5. Participants may enter the locker rooms no earlier
than 10 minutes before the start of class.
6. Any questions about the lessons should be directed
to the facility where you are enrolled.
7. There are NO MAKE-UPS or REFUNDS for missed
classes.
8. Withdrawal policies are strictly followed and apply
to class transfers.
Class Full? Try Private Lessons!
If
you cannot find a space, you can be put on a waitlist OR you can sign up for
private lessons with one of our swim instructors. Private lessons are $35 for a
half hour and are held at each of the four Montgomery County indoor pools and
aquatic centers. How to sign up for private swim lessons:
Click Here for a list of Montgomery County aquatic centers.
2. Each pool has a binder that lists the instructors available for private lessons. The book has instructor profiles containing their qualifications and availability.
3. When you find an instructor that fits your needs, fill out a PRIVATE LESSON REQUEST FORM that has all of your contact information. The instructor will then contact you to set up a time to meet.
4. Private instruction is $35 per person for a half hour.
5. Payment must be made in person at the pool and must be received before instruction can begin.
