· It is always a good idea to have swimmers dressed and to have swimmers use the bathroom before you leave for practice (or upon entering the facility).
· Classes will start on time. Late swimmers will not be permitted to make up lost time in another class or session. Please be on time to maximize your lesson.
Spectators
· Only Coaches and Swimmers are allowed on the pool deck. Please do not walk out on deck or allow your child to approach the pool before they are asked. Please do not create an uncomfortable situation for both you and the coaches by assuming this does not apply to you.
· Learn to swim parents may enter the facility with their swimmer, allow your swimmer to use the bathroom and immediately sit in the bleachers.
· Siblings MUST be closely monitored and may not run unattended through the facility.
· Coaches will come to the bleachers for your swimmer when it is time for class to start.
· We ask that unless the instructor asks for your assistance, please stay in the bleachers for the entirety of the lesson.
I need to ask/tell the coach something
Your questions are important! However, Coaches are not available to talk with parents during practice time. Before practice we are preparing for practice, during practice we are focused on all swimmers, after practice we are preparing for the next group or preparing to close the facility so we can spend time with our families. If you have questions for the coaches, please send an email [email protected] and we will promptly get back to you.
Bad Weather and/or Cancelation
· The Hardin Swim Center is a grounded indoor facility, so we do practice in the rain. However, If there are extreme weather conditions that require us to cancel practice, we will post the cancelation under the "practice schedule changes" tab on the front page of the website.
· Please do not call the facility or coaches (or text the coaches) to ask if practice has been canceled, check the "practice schedule changes" tab on the front page of the website.
Swimmer Illness
Lessons missed for illness or other activity will not be made up or refunded.
My child is younger than the group lesson age listed. How do I register?
We set the age requirement to ensure that practices are age appropriate.
I signed up for a class, but now want to change the date/time, how do I do that?
If you are unable to change the time online, email Coach Mary at [email protected]. There are no guarantees that space is available, but we will do our best to accommodate.
I need to cancel my class, will I receive a refund?
· When you sign up for a class, you are securing a spot and preventing others from registering.
· ONLY if you cancel 30 days in advance of your lesson, we will refund your class fees only.
If we didn't answer your question above, please email Coach Mary [email protected]com.
