SWIMMING LESSONS

SWIM LESSON IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Download the Swim Lesson Registration form here or from the menu on the left.

  • This summer we have added an additional 5 minutes to each lesson to free up the last Friday of each session for certification ceremony and beachside registration for upcoming sessions.

  • The Winding Trails’ swim program runs according to the American Red Cross standards for swim lessons. All swim instructors are certified by Red Cross.

  • Winding Trails offers six comprehensive course levels that teach you, your child or other family members how to swim skillfully and safely.

  • Winding Trails and the Red Cross want to see your children progress in these lessons and feel comfortable in the water while they learn valuable swim and safety skills.

  • Before placing your children in lessons, take each child’s ability into consideration. It is imperative that you sign your child up for the correct level at the time of sign up so that he/she is not bumped from a class.

  • Swimming skills are acquired at different rates by individual children and presented differently by each instructor.

  • Your child will progress at his/her own pace. Some will move quickly at first while others progress more slowly. We keep the entire learning process as much fun as possible.

  • Your child’s safety, health and self-esteem are important to us. Please let him/her advance at his/her own pace when it comes to water safety. Both you and your child will be happier.

  • Applications must be complete, including payment, before registration can be accepted.

  • ONLY MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO REGISTER.

  • Classes will be cancelled if there are heavy rains or thunder storms. Please call 677-8458 if weather threatens class. ( no refunds for canceled days due to weather)
