Many have asked about swimming lessons and we are happy to let you know that we will be offering them again this season.
We will have four different weeks of classes this season.
A class is one week, Monday through Friday at the same time each day.
The cost of a class is $40.
Registration will be online only at our website, fayetteaquaticcenter.com beginning Wednesday, May 20.
We request that you only register for one class in order that the most people possible may take a class.
The following is more information about the lessons, levels, etc.
Mission Statement:
The mission of this program is to teach a child or adult how to swim, to educate the participant on water safety, to be able to swim to safety if physically able, and to survive within the water and be aware of their surroundings.
Program Descriptions:
Youth Swim Lessons: A multi-level progressive program for school-age children, 4-12 years of age. This program starts with creating a solid foundation of aquatic skills for future development of swimming and water safety skills. The participant must successfully pass each level that the instructor has taught in order to move on to the next level. This is done on a weekly basis with a test on the last class day. (Beginner and Intermediate)
• Level 1: Water Exploration
• Level 2: Basic Water Skills (Shallow Water)
• Level 3: Swim Readiness (Deeper Water)
Cancellation of Classes:
There are a few reasons why the Fayette Aquatic Center or instructor may cancel classes:
• Insufficient Enrollment: Minimum enrollment levels must be met for courses to be held. If the Aquatic Center cancels a course due to low enrollment or loss of instructor, registered participants will be notified and offered the options of transferring to another class or receiving a full refund.
• Severe Weather: The Aquatic Center outdoor pool area will be closed each time lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius of the facility and will remain closed until 30 minutes after the last lightning strike was detected. While we cannot predict the weather, we will cancel classes in advance if possible. If severe weather occurs during class and at least half the class time has been conducted, then it will count as a single class.
• Facility Hazard: This includes but is not limited to sub- standard water quality, loss of electrical power, or other facility concern preventing the regular operation of programs.
Missed Classes:
Participants who miss a scheduled class are not permitted to attend other classes to make-up for the missed class.
Parent Presence:
A parent or guardian is not required to be at swimming lessons with their child. If they choose to stay, they must remain in the pavilion area next to the concession stand until class time is over.
Facility Access:
The facility will only be open to swimming lessons in the mornings from 8:00 A.M. to 9:55 A.M. on scheduled class days.
A class will be five consecutive days, at the times listed below. Classes will be offered the following weeks:
June 8 - 12
June 15 - 19
July 13 - 17
July 20 - 24
Class times will be: 8:00 – 8:35 a.m. (Class 1)
