INFORMATION FOR REGISTRATION 2022

Hello everyone!
I am super excited to be teaching swimming lessons again this summer!
THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE, SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I will be teaching swimming lessons following guidelines set by Red Cross Swim Kids- they recently announced that they are no longer offering swimming lessons through red cross so at the end of your children's lesson I will write the life saving society level they will be continuing in for their future lessons!

Swimming lessons registration will be APRIL 30 STARTING AT 9:00 AM UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY. It will be first come first serve. If you miss the date and would still like to sign up your children you can call or email to let me know and I will see if there is any availability left!

This year I will be available the weeks of:

June 27- July 1 (this will only be a 4 day week due to Canada day)
July 4-8
July 11-15
July 18-22
July 25-29
August 1-5
August 8-12
August 22-26
August 29-Sept 2

The lessons for levels 1-6 are 30 minutes per day and for levels 7-10 are 60 minutes per day.

I will be running classes from 8:00 am - 3:00pm

PRICES FOR THE SEASON
Levels 1-6 and pre-school levels (sea otter to whale) (five 30 minute classes)

1 child with teacher- $130 per child
2 children with teacher - $95 per child
3 children with teacher- $80 per child

The phone number to call on APRIL 30 is 905- 932-2422

When you call please have your children’s report cards ready or have an idea of what swim level your children are at so we can book the appropriate amount of time for your child.

Please remember to call on APRIL 30 because I have a lot of people interested this year!
When grouping children together they should be the same level or one level apart. There is a big difference between levels 4 and 5 so these levels should not be grouped together. For children in pre-school levels it is better that they are taught alone until they are more confident.
All lessons will be held Rain or Shine! Out of pool lessons will be given during Thunder and Lightning!

VERY IMPORTANT! Your lessons are the week you book, I cannot change days if you need to cancel. Only for illness and death do I try to accommodate other arrangements. If you cancel your lessons less than one week before we may ask you to pay for the lessons as we may not be able to fill your spot. If you decline to pay then the following year you must prepay for your lessons. Sorry about this but it is not fair to others who may have wanted lessons and were not able to book a time slot.
Any questions or concerns email [email protected]
Hope to see you this summer! Thanks so much!
