Please fill out the below form to sign up for swim lessons with Parker Pool Summer of 2021! Please read to the bottom for all details on cost and  other lesson information.

Group classes are held morning or evening for ages from 2 years old and up. At the moment, we do not have a specialized instructor for infants.

Upcoming swim lesson sessions:

      Session 4 is July 19-July 29 is now FULL.

We will add more dates as the summer goes on, if there is still interest. Please email us if you are interested in after school lessons - contactparkerpool@gmail.com

Our instructors must give your swimmer an assessment, in person, once this season before we place them in a group. From there, they progress so this assessment is just to start and avoid lost time sorting swimmers on day 1.

Dates to bring your swimmer to the pool for the assessment are any day the pool is open at least 5 days prior to your session's start date.

Exact lesson times will be emailed to parents within the week prior to lesson start.

GENERAL INFO:
1. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to your lesson, ready to swim.
2. Goggles are optional.
3. No fins, face masks, life jackets, or floaties are allowed.
4. Please apply sunscreen (if you do) before you leave the house so your swimmer won't be slippery in the instructor's grasp and so it won't come off in the water.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
1. When lessons are canceled, a make up will be offered at the same lesson time on the Friday immediately following the missed lesson.
2. If the weather is still bad on the make up day, then that missed lesson will not have a make up day
3. If more than 1 lesson is missed due to weather or Pool Management needing to cancel, the next session of lessons you register for will be discounted, at the rate you paid, for the number of lessons missed over 1 (we do not credit 1 missed lesson).
4. For group lessons, if you miss a lesson, there is no credit or refund.
5. For private lessons, notice of need to reschedule must be given 24 hours in advance.
