Red Cross Swim Lessons

By Marion Recreation
Created Nov 27 2006 - 9:48am

NO WAITING LIST
We limit the number of students per class in order to provide quality lessons for everyone.  Once a class is filled, no one else can register for that class.

SWIM LESSON SESSION LIMITS
A new policy has been to set to limit the number of swim lessons a child may register for on registration day.  Each child is limited to register for two class sessions prior to May 1.  This will allow more children the opportunity to take lessons.  We have also increased the number of classes offered.  Starting on May 1 you may register your child for additional sessions.

LESSON CHANGES AND REFUNDS
If you need to change the dates or times of the lessons you have registered for there is a $5.00 charge per lesson that is changed. 
Refunds will be given for a lesson; however a $5.00 administrative fee will be added per lesson.  No refunds after the first day of class.

FEE:  $26.00 PER CHILD PER SESSION
Lessons are available for children ages 4 and up.  Classes meet for 45 minutes, Monday-Friday, for two weeks. 

IPAP/TODDLER CLASSES
Session 3      July 7-18, 11:30-12:00, Mon-Fri
Parent and child will work together on games and activities designed to prepare children 18 months – 3 years for lessons.
If this is the only class you are registering for wait until after April 12, there is no reason to stand in the long line on registration day for this program.
