LOBBY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello and Welcome to Week 10 of our Spring Session!
My name is ____________ and I will be your deck supervisor.
This week we will be reviewing each of the seven skills that were introduced to our swimmers this session. In each class, we evaluate our students to gauge their comfort level, ability, and understanding of the skill. We use this opportunity to give praise, provide feedback and offer guidance to both the student and the instructor as they work toward skill attainment. We always mark student progress in the customer portal under the evaluations section for each student. Please search for the Summer 2025 skills and note that 1 star indicates that the student is still practicing and 2 stars indicates that the level has been accomplished. If your student has accomplished the level, please register for the next appropriate level based on the students age after or around June 24th. If you have any questions about skills tracking or progress, please do not hesitate to ask!
Summer Priority Registration begins on Saturday, April 26th at 9 am!
PARENT REMINDERS
Closed on Sunday, April 20th. A make up token has been added to your account if you typically swim that day and no further action is needed.
Did you know that we have an unlimited absence and makeup policy! Reporting your absence in the parent portal will ensure that your account is credited with an absence which you can use for a MAKEUP in another class that is not fully enrolled, has an absence already reported for the day or is a designated makeup class. Please report your absences ASAP so another family can take your spot!
If you are running late, please wait at the door in the center of the of the lobby and the Deck Supervisor will greet you and escort your students to class. Also, at the end of class, please remember to wait at or near exit doors for your swimmers. As a safety precaution, we cannot allow students to wander independently into the locker room, if we do not see a parent/guardian with them. Just give us a friendly wave to confirm if you are not right up front.
On deck showers are available and can be used for a quick rinse after class (no soap, shampoo, etc. please). However if you are showering in the locker room, please be mindful of others in the facility and limit your time spent in the shower and please no reserving showers. Thanks for your cooperation!
ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR WINCHESTER ONLY: We ask that all customers please park in the YELLOW lined spots only. They do extend all the way around the building onto the other side of the pool. The white lined spots are for our neighbors across the street.
