Preparing for Swim Lessons

• Long hair must be tied back. It is a safety hazard.
• Swim diapers must be used for children who are not potty-trained. If a child is wearing a regular diaper, we will have to ask them to leave the pool as the diaper could damage our filter system.
• Goggles are optional, but not recommended for beginners. The student will generally know when they need goggles.
• Swimmers should wear appropriate swimwear. Any type of swimsuit is fine, but clothing or swimwear with built-in floatation is discouraged.

Locker Rooms

• There are locker rooms in the Memorial Gym and in the Swim Center. Children 6 years of age and older must use the locker room appropriate to their gender.
