When registering, students do not register for specific Stations or Levels. Students will be placed on day one based on their ability and skills they already know. Once placed in a Station, students will continue to move and advance from Station to Station as they learn the advancement skills for each Station.


What will lessons look like?

  • 5 minutes for guiding student to pool and correct station
  • 30 minutes of Instruction in the water
  • 5 minutes for guiding students from the pool to the lobby

Please note:

  • The locker rooms are available for students who are old enough to change on their own.
  • Students who need assistance with changing must use the lobby restrooms.
  • Students who need assistance with going to the restroom must have a guardian who is available to assist.
