Swim Lessons: Additional Details

General Class Information

  • Parents must remain in the facility during swim lessons. If your child is under the age of 6, you should be directly supervising them during class.
  • Please stay with your child on the pool deck until the instructor arrives. Do not allow your child to swim before the lesson begins.
  • Because of the limited pool instruction space we do not allow free swim during lesson time. Siblings should not play during class times in the shallow instruction area.

Non-Member Information

  • The Kids Center (910-715-1814) is available for members and non-members to use while their children are in swim lessons. Reservations must be made 24 hours in advance.
  • If you are not a member of the fitness center, we ask that you and your family not use the pool during lessons.

Aquatic Center Guidelines

  • If your child is over 3 years old, they must use same-sex bathrooms. Please use the family changing rooms on either side of the hot tub.
  • Please bring a towel.
  • Members with children under 8 years old must always be in the water with them except during their swim lessons.
  • If your child has a cough, cold, fever, infection, open sore, rash or feels sick, please do not allow them to participate.

Parent/Child Class Information (Ages 6 months to 3 years)

  • These classes are held at the Southern Pines Center. To register call 910-715-1841.
  • The American Red Cross Infant Program we offer is designed to help infants and young children become comfortable in and around the water so they are ready to learn to swim.
  • This program is not designed to teach children to become good swimmers or even survive in the water on their own.
  • This program gives parents information and techniques to help orient their children to water and to supervise water activities in a safe way.

Makeup Lessons

  • We provide up to two make-up lessons should we be unable to provide a class due to instructor illness. If the scheduled make-up session is canceled due to weather, there is not an alternate make-up class offered.
  • We do not offer make-up lessons if your child is unable to attend class or a make-up session.
  • Make-up lessons will be on Fridays or the week following the original session.
  • Please plan for this in your schedule.

Inclement Weather/Cancellation Policy

In the event of an electrical storm, the pool will be closed and classes canceled. Up to two classes may be rescheduled by the instructor. Please call ahead if storms are likely.
