Shrimps (3-5yrs) 5 per class -$25

Designed for a first time swimmer who is gaining comfort and confidence in the water. This class will focus on the fundamentals: blowing bubbles, front and back float, head submersion, bobbing, front/back arm movements and supported front/back kick.

Otters (3-5yrs) 6 per class -$25

Intended for children who have mastered front and back floating. The class will focus on the coordina-tion of arm and leg movements on front/back, un-derwater swimming, kicking without support on front/back and turning over front to back/back to front.

Sealions (3-5 yrs) 7 per class -$25

Geared for children who can float unassisted on front and back, kick on front/back without support, perform front/back crawl, and swim underwater. This class will concentrate on rhythmic breathing, elementary backstroke, and diving from the side of the pool.

The students will be familiarized with the aquatic environment. This is a first time exposure to the pool, lessons, and an instructor. Skills learned in this level will include face submersion, breath control (bubble blowing), supported floating on front and back, kicking and beginning arm action.

Level II: Primary Skills (5yrs and up) 8 per class -$25

Level III: Stroke Readiness (5yrs and up) 8 per class-$25

To register for Level III and to participate comfortably, students should have completed Level II and/or Sea Lions successfully.

In addition, safe diving practices from the side of the pool and underwater swimming are elements of this level.

Level IV: Stroke Development (6yrs and up) 8 per class-$25

This is the course where students really begin to look like “swimmers”. Building on the skills already acquired, students will be able to swim at least 25 yards of front and back crawl easily, increase endurance, master rotary breathing, and learn the basics of breastroke, scissor kick, and turning at the wall. Enrollment in this level should occur after completion of Level III.

REFUND POLICY

We highly recommend that all participants swim during the preseason camp week and parents

speak with the coaches prior to the refund deadline of May 17. After May 17, absolutely

NO REFUNDS will be issued to children who are unable to meet the skill requirements of this

program. We are unable to fill your child’s spot on the teams, and most parents have to find

alternative activities for their children if they find they are unable to participate in this

program. If you choose to withdraw your child from swim/dive teams, your refund request

must be made on or before 6pm May 17th by calling the Community Services office ONLY at

480-503-6200. After May 17th, if your child simply elects to not participate in the swim or

dive team program after registration due to fear of practice, anxiety, or other issues, we

cannot offer a refund or credit. Thank you for your understanding in advance.

SWIM MEETS WILL TAKE PLACE MAINLY ON THURSDAY EVENINGS.

DIVE MEETS WILL TAKE PLACE MAINLY ON THURSDAY EVENINGS.

DURING SWIM AND DIVE MEETS, 11 AND 12 AGE GROUP

WILL ONLY COMPETE AGAINST 11 AND 12 AGE GROUP, AND WILL NOT COMPETE AGAINST

13 AND UP AGE GROUP. PRACTICE TIMES FOR THESE AGE GROUPS ARE NOW COMBINED.

All children MUST practice at the pool and practice time that they are registered for.

We receive many requests for special exceptions to scheduled practice times, and

unfortunately we cannot allow certain age groups to get overbooked by allowing multiple

practice exception requests.

Your child’s age as of June 1, 2012 will determine

what age group to register them in this program.

You may register your child for both swim and/or dive teams

and simply choose what practice or meet to attend that day.

Separate registrations are required for each program.

Parents please note: The swim team program reaches capacity quickly in certain locations. Your child is

not allowed to be registered at a pool and also waitlisted at another pool at the same time.

Parents must elect to register or waitlist their child, but cannot do both.

Thank you for your understanding.

PRE-SEASON SWIM/DIVE CAMPS AND PROGRAM SKILL

REQUIREMENTS

Parents, it is important to realize that there are minimum skill levels required for your children to

be on the swim/dive teams. If your child has difficulty swimming a length of the pool (25 yards)

unassisted in 70 seconds or less or jumping off the diving board you should NOT enroll them in

the swim/dive team, but instead try swimming/diving lessons. Parents who enroll their children

in swim or dive teams and want to withdraw them during the first few weeks of the program if

their child is not enjoying the practices will not be offered a refund. Participants who have

enrolled but do not meet the individual skill requirements will be offered a credit only and

directed to swimming lessons.

If you enroll your child in the 2012 swim/dive team program this year an optional week of practice

is offered prior to the regular season that will give your children a good head start on the summer

and is a GREAT IDEA TO ATTEND if you think your child might not quite have the skills to

participate in this program. Participants must be currently registered in the program (waiting lists

participants are not eligible to participate) and MUST practice at the pool they are registered for.

This week of practice is a good indication of whether your child has the skills and stamina to

participate successfully in the swim or dive teams and is held PRIOR to the refund deadline of

May 17.

Preseason swim/dive team camps (which are included in the summer swim or dive team

registration fee) begin on Monday, May 14th through Thursday May 17th.

Summer practice hours on page 17, begin on Tuesday, May 29th for all teams.
