Hi Cyan Family!

This is just a friendly reminder that everyone must wear a mask in our facility unless physically in the water. This applies to all adults and children, no matter your age. You must wear your mask on the pool deck until you are asked by your instructor to take it off to begin your lesson. Once you are done with your lesson, please dry your face off and put your mask on. If your child needs to use the restroom during their lesson, they must put on their mask first before going to the bathroom. Kids can take off their masks while they are in the shower, but they need to put them on after their shower while they change and before exiting the facility.

Thank you so much for your cooperation up to this point, and we hope that with everyone adhering to our rules that we will be able to keep our community safe and get back to normal as soon as possible!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! We are open today, and simply wanted to reiterate Dr. King's message of love. Have a lovely day everyone!

A new beginning is just on the horizon, but before we move on to 2021 we wanted to share with you our Top 5 Moments from 2020:

1 - We were able to keep people safe! Thank you to everyone who helped make Cyan a safe environment for everyone to enjoy, and we are incredibly proud of the extra work we did TOGETHER to keep our community safe.

2 - Cyan's reopening was a BIG DEAL! After months of being forced to close down, we were able to reopen in June. We want to sincerely thank every family that helped keep us afloat during the lockdown.

3 - We were still able to host some Camps to allow kids to have some COVID-safe fun, and to give parents some support in adjusting to their new normal.

4 - We faced a difficult time at one of our camps with hateful and racist language. In response to that incident, we started the process of making Cyan into a Safe Space for people of all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, ages, ability levels, and creeds. Cyan is a discrimination-free space, and we are doing our best to make everyone feel welcomed.

5 - We hosted our first-ever Drawing Competition to help inspire kids to care more for and appreciate the beauty of our oceans and the life that they sustain. We received multiple drawings and colorings, and each one of them is precious to us. We hope that the beauty of their work will inspire people to care more for our waterways.

This past Sunday we started giving our Report Cards to all of our swimmers, and one of the challenges for our swimmers at a certain level has been for them to open their eyes underwater without their goggles. We rarely ask our swimmers to do this, but sometimes this may come in handy if you need to orient yourself underwater... typically you would only want to open your eyes in fresh water, and if you do not wear contact lenses.

Once you open your eyes underwater, you will notice that everything is quite blurry... it's been the top observation by our young swimmers doing it for the first time, and this episode from SciShow on YouTube perfectly explains why... but there is an easy solution to bring things into focus, and that is to wear goggles!

So check out this episode of SciShow for the science behind your blurry vision underwater!

If you’ve been brave enough to open your eyes underwater, you might have noticed that everything is blurry. But fish have no trouble finding their way beneat...

Report Cards will be given out starting December 13th, so please make sure you make it to your lesson that week! We may even have a special surprise for each of our lessons that complete their evaluations 🤩

Dear Cyan Families

We realize that some of you may be choosing to make trips during this time, and we wanted to reiterate that we require all families to take the 2 week quarantine after traveling out of state or out of the country set forth by Governor Inslee.

Please remember to cancel your classes early so that you will not be charged for any missed classes, and if you would like to add time or lessons to subsequent weeks after your quarantine period we will do our best!

Thank you for keeping everyone at Cyan healthy!! And we hope you have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

We will be closed on Thursday, November 26th for Thanksgiving. We realize that it may be very different this year, but let's all do our part to stay safe and healthy during the holiday season! And please let us know what you are thankful for this year in the comments below!!

We are thankful to be able to be open still during this second lockdown! We are also thankful that all of our swimmers and instructors have remained healthy since we have opened... please help us follow our updated guidelines we sent out via email on Monday, Nov 16 so that we can continue to stay open and provide everyone with a safe environment.

And if you are traveling out of state for the holiday this year, please do not come back to Cyan until you have been able to complete the quarantine period of 14 days. We are more than happy to cancel or reschedule appointments with just 24 hours advanced notice (or more!)

Happy Veteran's Day from Cyan Swim Academy! We hope everyone is enjoying their day off from school and giving the veterans in their lives a call, text, or email to let them know how much you and all of us appreciate their sacrifices for our country.

And despite many businesses being closed and our sincere appreciation of all veterans, Cyan Swim Academy is still open and we look forward to seeing everyone later today!
