Hello Swim School Families!

Great things are happening, and we wanted to share some of them with you:

• Our kid-favorite bag tags are in!  Thank you, Kelly Laneman, they are perfect! Children are always encouraged to "try their best" during class, and now they will get recognized for this effort after each class with a trip to the sticker table.  Once ten stickers are on their tag, it's treasure chest visit time!  So keep up that great attendance and know that our instructors are trained to always find at least one great skill that was tackled or sign of effort in an area to highlight during each child's class--we do not withhold these stickers. Bring your bag tag to each class!
• Skill-tracking begins next week.  Our instructors will begin tracking how each child is progressing through each skill on their level board. This helps instructors plan and manage their level's curriculum over our 15 weeks together and to know where to focus each week to meet the needs of their particular group.  On approximately Week 13, in mid-December, instructors will hand out "report cards" to each swimmer; these are positive, fun Session I Progress Reports that will also help you understand which level you should register for next.
• Have you noticed the lesson platform in the back corner of our Pool area?  It is almost water-ready and will be in the pool soon to help our smaller Stars and Sharks try skills in water they can stand in!  This will quickly help build their confidence in the water and increase safe water time that can be offered by our instructors.
• Remember, No Swim School Classes on Saturday 10/7 or Monday 10/9.  Enjoy the long weekend!
• Finally, we have just added a shortened 10-week Session beginning October 23rd!  Registration is Open!  We are offering a Stars 6+ (for older beginners, ages 6-9) on Mondays at 4:30, and we expect this class will fill very quickly, so register today.  We have also added lots of weekday morning classes for children at home during the day. So check out our Swim School page and share it with your pre-school and home-school friends, thank you!
