Structured Class Activities: The coach will provide aquatic activities to engage the children, build their confidence, and promote social skills, and, most importantly, have fun! Classes are designed for children that are comfortable in water/pool setting. This is not swimming lessons and is not a therapy program.
Safety: The class is conducted in shallow water. Any child that is unable to swim would be required to wear a life jacket or safety vest. Life jacket/vests are not provided by the Rockville Center Pool. Parents or an adult supervising the child will need to be in the pool and within arm’s reach at all times if the child does not know how to swim. Life guards will be on duty at the time of the class.
This is a pilot class, so we will learn from each session, what works and what does not work. Participants will be asked to sign a liability waiver prior to starting the class. The coach reserves the right to excuse participants from the class if they put themselves or others in the class at risk.
