The next set of swimming lessons start soon, and we have GREAT news: online registration will be available for the first time. BUT—we need your help to make this work.
If you are considering registering a child for swimming lessons either now or at a future lesson set and you would like to register online, it is vital that your child’s current swimming level is in the ActiveNet system. Otherwise, you WILL NOT be able to register your child online on registration day. Please ensure your child’s profile is up to date. To do this:
- Call us any time before November 8 (the sooner the better!) to check if we have up-to-date information on your child’s swimming level. IMPORTANT: If your child is currently in swimming lessons, please wait till you have your end-of-session report card before you call. If your child does not pass the class, that’s ok—they can take that class again. We just need to ensure you are set up to register for it.
- If you’re not sure what level your child should register for, please bring them in for an assessment. We will be offering assessments November 1–7 during regular operating hours. They take about 10 minutes. Simply check in with the front desk when you arrive and fill out a form for your child to take onto the pool deck and meet with a lifeguard.
- Once you are certain your child’s current level is in ActiveNet, you’re good to go and will be able to register online for the correct level on registration day.
Upcoming lessons run November 15–December 16. The schedule is available below.
New! We are trying out a new registration time outside of regular working hours: registration for this lesson set is 5:00 pm on Monday, November 8. If you have any difficulty registering online or would prefer to call or visit in person, these options are still available. You can reach us at 250-615-3030.
Please share this information with anyone you know who might want to sign up a child for swimming lessons to ensure registration day goes as smoothly as possible for everyone. Thanks for your help!
