Unsure of your swim level? We strongly recommend coming in for a swim evaluation. Please see the swim evaluation times listed above. New swimmers with some level of experience or those that are unsure what level to register for must visit the JKR Branch to register or be evaluated for the correct swim level prior to registering online. Those registering for our beginner level classes (Discovery, Exploration, Acclimation) may register online.
The following stages include Parent Participation in the water: Discovery/ Exploration, Acclimation A & B, Movement A & B.
Q: What does Parent Participation mean?
A: Parents will be in the pool to assist their swimmer with skills through the class session. Skills at each level vary but include close contact. Since Fall 2020, we have been utilizing this involvement to maintain safety of all and to allow swimmers a full 45 minutes of water time. We have seen our students progress and comfort increase as well.
Q: Do parents need to know how to swim?
A: No, but be aware the pool depth is 4 ft. You should be comfortable in chest deep water. Another guardian 18+ can also assist if needed.
