All students also need to complete the current 2023 registration form.

Upcoming Plans for SEASON 2023!

 I just received a weather warning for snow.... again.  Winter 2022-23 has been very white!  

As I'm dreaming of the warm months ahead, I thought I'd better get our blog updated.

Fall of 2022, we added a playground.  We have learned over 16 years of teaching swimming lessons that there are often siblings that parents are trying to keep entertained while they await their turn in the pool.  In West Jordan, we had a playground for siblings.  It has taken us 6 years, but we now have a playground.

Same rules apply - use at your own risk and let's keep an eye on the kiddos no matter whether they are on the swingset, trampoline, or pool.  I'm a safety girl.  I don't think we can have too many caring, watchful adults.

We usually begin evening swim lessons in May and day time when school is out.  Watch for the swim schedule to be posted in April.

Session III begins Wednesday, July 20th! We have a spot or two in level II and III.

 We will be starting our last session for the 2022 swim season.  Please contact Valerie at 801-414-9048 if you are interested in joining.  We will need to do a free placement test and can prorate based on number of lessons remaining in the 6 class session.

Dates are as follows:

Registration for Session II - Evenings with Trent opens this week!

 The final class for Session I will be this Wednesday.  Current students will learn of their recommended level for Session II that night and be able to secure their spot in Session II if they wish.  Thursday registration will open for any others.

Free placement testing is available after Wednesday's class at 8:45 p.m.  If you haven't already received placement testing this season, we recommend you do so prior to Thursday as any open spots will go fast.

See you soon!

Summer 2020 Swim Season - And how the Pandemic will change things

May is almost half over and I am just getting a handle on what we will be offering for swim in 2020.

For the last 3 summers, Kenzi has offered lessons during the day.  This year, she will be out in the mission field, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Her original assignment was to Barcelona, Spain leaving June 2nd.  But 3 weeks into her Missionary Training at home, she received a reassignment to Baton Rouge, LA leaving the week of May 26th.

In past years, we have at times offered lessons in May, but with the pandemic and the last half of May having a daughter doing Missionary Training here at home, we feel waiting until June is the better option.

Our almost 17 year old daughter was scheduled to take the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Course in April, but that class was put on hold because of the pandemic.  So - even though she is a great swimmer, has been on Skyridge HS swim team for two years and has helped her dad teach swim, we want her to have the specific training for teaching lessons before she starts taking students.  We are hoping to hear any day that she will be able to take the class.

And that brings us to Trent who has been teaching in the evenings after work for over 10 years now.  He will be taking a few students on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning in June from 6pm until 8pm.

With the need for continued social distancing, we feel that private lessons will be okay, but we will not be able to arrange semi-private lessons.  However, if 2 or 3 students in the same family are swimming at the same level, we are fine with them being grouped together.

We will update rules to reflect the current guidelines for social distancing and ask that you also follow these guidelines.  Do not come to class if you are running a fever, suspect you have Covid, or have been exposed to someone who is on quarantine.  Students may be accompanied by one parent/guardian over the age of 18.  In the event that other students are in the pool finishing up their lesson, please remain in your car until you see them exit.

I'm sure that we will be updating rules as things progress.  Thank you for your patience as we navigate this pandemic together!

Summer Season 2019 Registration Closing

With only 4 more weeks on our schedule now before school starts - crazy but true - we are no longer taking new students.

If you would like to be contacted for summer 2020 lessons, please complete the Registration Summer 2020 form.

Thanks for a great summer 2019 swim season!  See you next year!
