| The
Carson Valley Swim Center offers swimming lessons year round.
In order to help you determine which class is right for you
or your child, we have prepared this class description. Our
classes have a good student to instructor ratio. Classes will
be taught in all five pools depending on pool availability and
demand. Generally, we hope to have tots in the warm pool, pre-beginners
in the slide pool and all others in the main indoor pool, or
outdoor teaching pool. |

PARENTS/SPECTATORS
Experience
has shown that children learn faster when their
parents are not present. If you want to observe
classes you may do so from the area behind the green
line, mezzanine, or the designated outdoor area.
Parents of children in Tots and Pre-Beginners can
be on the deck during the first day of class. Please
learn the name of your child's swim instructor and
where the class is taught so if you arrive late
we can quickly get your child to class.
Graduation Fridays:
On the last Friday of each session parents and friends
of students in all classes can be on the deck to
take pictures, talk to instructors, and observe
skills learned during the session.
