How to Register

    Policies and Procedures

              Parents are responsible for their child’s behavior and their safety while on our premises including parking lots, bathrooms, waiting areas, near the pool, etc.  Children are not allowed in the pool area when a teacher is not present. No children are allowed in the pool area unsupervised. 

              We almost never cancel classes.  Always assume class is in session.  If you’re unsure, call the gym one hour before the class (219) 865-2274.  If your class is to start for instance at 2:00, and it’s pouring at that time, we’ll wait until 2:15 before we cancel class.  Always come to class.

3.           When an absence cannot be avoided you must call the gym prior to that missed lesson.  Try very hard not to miss any classes, because each class is taught in a sequence.  If an emergency occurs and your child must miss class, you will be given a swim make-up class, with times available every Saturday.   No credit or refunds will be given for other missed classes. 

4.           Adults and children not participating in lessons are to remain in designated areas away from the pool edge during lessons.  No glass containers allowed around the pool.  An adult must accompany all children not participating in class.

              Never use the slide without an instructor being present.  Never, never go down the slide head first.

6.           Always inform us if your child has had an ear infection or an upset stomach.  Any child who has had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not be in the pool.  Never, ever bring a child to class who might have diarrhea.

            No diving is allowed even in the deep end.

             If students are not potty-trained, they must wear the reusable rubber swim diapers purchased from Patti’s All-American.  No exceptions.  We cannot chance having a fecal accident in the pool with the possibility of E Coli.

              All students enrolled in Level II must be at least 4 years old and at least 3’ tall
