On the first day of every swim lesson session, we evaluate proper stage placement. For some, it may take time for a swimmer to warm up and build a relationship with a new instructor. After time has been given for a swimmer to adjust to their new instructor, the instructor will determine if a swimmer has been placed in a specific stage in error. The instructor will discuss this with you and the Aquatics Director and will do their best to offer an adequate solution.

Wyatt Swim School uses a developmental series of steps in a natural progression working towards mastering the following skills: water adjustment, buoyancy, body position, arm and leg development, forward movement, and ending with stroke technique. In general, each child’s readiness is influenced by physical development, previous experience, and behavioral maturity. The most important thing to remember is to never compare your child’s progress to another child. All children are different and we need to let them learn at their comfort level. It also depends on what you are looking to get out of the lessons. If you want your child to learn competitive swimming techniques, that will take longer than if you want your child to learn basic water safety skills.

Children who have been ill should be kept at home. This is in the best interest of their health as well as other class participants and their instructor. To maintain the integrity of our classes regarding content and size, we do not offer make-ups. We have found that adding swimmers to classes for make-ups disrupts the rhythm, safety, and integrity of the class. Please do your best to attend! Sorry, no make-ups for illnesses, recitals, vacations, etc. If a class is canceled by the instructor, the instructor will schedule a make-up lesson before the end of the current program session. Not attending a make-up class will not entitle you to a refund or credit, please do your best to attend.
