IMPORTANT REMINDERS!
- If 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, please call us at 250-615-3030.
- Children can only be registered in a class if they are not currently in lessons. Caregivers must wait until they have a report card with an incomplete or complete grade to register for the next set. Any child pre-registered for lessons before they have an incomplete or complete grade will be withdrawn and refunded.
- Haven't had lessons in a while? If your child has not been in swimming lessons for more than one year, we recommend doing a swimming assessment to help determine which level is most appropriate. Call 250-615-3030 to set this up!
