Placement Testing Continues

One of the things that sets Little Flippers apart from other Swim Schools is that we offer free placement testing.  We feel it is imperative that our students are in a class that is the perfect balance between not too easy and not to challenging.  If a child feels insecure in the water, it can set him or her back.  We encourage all new and returning students who have not had lessons for 9 months or more to take advantage of this service.  It only takes 15 minutes and the result is that your child is placed in the best spot for him or her to work with the other students in the same class.

Trent is continuing to do placement testing.  Tuesday, April 28th at 8pm.  

Please contact us if you need a placement test and we will find a time.

Thanks!

Placement Testing Available Monday, April 27th 2015 6:30-7:45pm

Happy Registration Day!

Classes are now available for you to choose with on-line payment by credit card.

If you haven't made it by for placement testing, there's still time.  No appointment necessary.  Just drop by between 6:30pm and 7:45pm.  Trent will do testing in groups in order of arrival.

We will be checking classes throughout the days ahead.  If there are not enough spots for your student, you will be put on a waiting list.  If you are able to take the Tuesday/Thursday Level II or III class, please do so as I have more families wanting the Monday/Wednesday spots due to church conflicts.

Thanks!

Valerie


Announcing our 2015 Swim Season and On-Line Registration!

Session I will begin in May with placement testing available April 20th through 22nd.  Classes will be available to add on Monday, April 27th.

It is recommended that you register on-line ahead of time at this link:  https://app.thestudiodirector.com/littleflippersswimacad/portal.sd

You will then be able to add classes when they are available (April 27th) and after you have determined the proper class through free placement testing or received approval from Trent (for returning students only).

Included in  your Registration, your student will be registered with the Red-Cross as he or she completes each level.  The Red-Cross has made some exciting changes for 2015 including updated skills checklist cards, safety video, and a downloadable app that can help parents follow their students progress.  We will keep you informed as we learn more.



2015 Season soon to be Posted

We anticipate offering our first session for 2015 in May now that the pool is enclosed.

If you are not already, contact us to be added to our email list and we will notify you when the schedule is available.

Our last session to begin on Monday,August 4th, 2014!

We have all but filled up classes with only a few level 3, 4 and 6 remaining.  Please call us at 801-414-9048 if you would like to register for any of the remaining spots.

Thank you for your amazing support and word of mouth advertising!  We really appreciate it!

Registration for August Swim Session Begins tomorrow, July 22nd, 2014

We are back after being out of town 31 of the past 41 days!  What a whirlwind adventure!  We had a nice visit in Oklahoma with Trent's aging and ailing parents - we take each day one at a time so hope you'll bear with us if we have to make an unplanned visit there in the next weeks - but we're hoping for the best.

Important Note:  We are having to move the last session out one week beginning now the first week of August as Trent has to be out of town the last week of July.  Lessons will run August 4th through 21st. 

 Hopefully, this won't change your plans for swimming with us this session.  We sometimes wonder if our changing schedule is more of a pain to our families than it is worth - but Trent is a great coach and we love our students and see amazing progress with their swim skills, so we keep at it!  Thanks for hanging in there with us!

We are sticking with our previous plans of swim placement testing tonight, July 21st, beginning at 6:30 and going until 8:30 pm or we finish.  Please plan on 15 minutes and first come first served.  Feel free to email me or text at 801-414-9048 and I can steer you toward a certain time if it looks like one time is more popular than another!

Registration will begin on Tuesday, July 22nd at our usual swim times from 6:00 until 8:30pm.  Remember, some classes fill up sooner than others and we try to offer additional classes as needed.  Please see our class openings page for more information.  I update this at least daily as time allows.

Thanks and see you soon!

Awaiting another Summer Swim Season

Hello Past, Present, and Future Swim Students and Families,

Have we had enough cold yet?  Our family is anxiously awaiting the warm, summer months when we can open the pool and enjoy another swim season,

Trent has made a full recovery from shoulder surgery of a torn rotator cuff.  I'm amazed he made it through 3 sessions last summer.  He has a high tolerance of pain!  Much  more so than I.

We will post the summer swim schedule in May 2014.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Registration now open for Session III - Our last session for the year

Classes are filling up fast for Session III

New Students:  Please call (801) 282-5965 or email:  littleflippersswimacademy@gmail.com to schedule a time for free placement testing to determine your class level

Returning students are always welcome to schedule placement testing as students forget or learn new skills during the months they are not in class.

Please see our class openings pagehttp://littleflippersswimacademy.blogspot.com/p/session-iii-schedule.html and calendar http://littleflippersswimacademy.blogspot.com/p/session-iii-swim-calendar.html for further information.

Session II Begins this week


This week we begin session II of swim.  We have filled up all classes to max capacity with the exception of 1 spot remaining in level 5 and room for up to 2 students in Level 6 Fitness Swimmer.  Thanks for all the great support!  A word of warning to those interested in our 3rd and last session of the summer in August:  Many of our students from session I took session II off for vacation and expressed interest in coming back for session III.  We expect classes to fill very quickly.  Our son, Steven, who received his Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Training with Trent, is willing to teach classes if needed before our existing class times.  He served an  LDS mission until August 2012 and was not able to teach swim.  As such, his certification has expired.  Many of our parents have expressed that they do not care whether the teacher is Red Cross certified.

Registration for Session 2 opens for all Tuesday, June 18th.

Current students have been able to register after their last day of class.  Monday/Wednesday classes will be completed Monday, June 17th.  Tuesday/Thursday classes for level I finished on June 13th.

New Students who have received placement testing/information may register beginning Tuesday, June 18th.

If you would like a registration form, please email us at:  LittleFlippersSwimAcademy@gmail.com

Registration and payment must be received in order to hold a spot.  Continuing students need only to turn in page 2 of the current registration form with payment.

Please note that some classes have changed days/times from session I.

Some spots fill more quickly than others.   We will be out of town between the 22nd and 29th.  Steven will be here, but won't be able to confirm spots.  Any registration forms left between the 22nd and 29th will receive confirmation prior to the start of class on Monday, July 1st.

We will be accepting registration forms/payments between 4pm and 8pm Tuesday through Thursday.



We are just finishing up the last classes for session I.  Current students will be able to register on the last day of class.  New students will be able to register beginning Tuesday June 18th - unless we have to move a class due to weather or other unforeseen circumstance.

Spots are filled on a first-come first served basis and only after payment and registration forms are received.  Continuing students do not need to complete a new registration form if they have already completed our 2013 form.

Placement testing for new students is being held after class Monday through Thursday.  Come around 8:45 on Monday or Wednesday at 9pm on Tuesday or Thursday so you know in advance the level you need to register for.
