4. When selecting a class please be sure it is the correct class you want to register. Read the entire line and be sure that the information is correct. The Wilson Aquatics Department cannot guarantee a spot will be available in another class if you do not sign up for it correctly.
5. Once registered, you will receive an automatic confirmation indicating the office has received your registration.

Frequently asked questions

 

• Can my child miss a class? Yes, your child can miss a class at any point; however, we do not offer a makeup class at any point during a session
• How do I know what level my child is when I register? If you’ve taken our learn to swim program then you’ll typically want to register your child for the next level. Once a session is complete a skill evaluation will give you feedback as to where your child finishes. If you’re new to Wilson Swim Lessons you can review our skill chart.
• Can my child advance to another level during the same session? Yes, if we feel your child is ready to move up during a session we will place them into the proper group during the session.
• At what age can my child start taking group lessons? We do not allow children under the age of 3 in our group lessons. It has been our experience that children under the age of 3 may not be ready to complete a lesson provided by our staff. There is a parent-tot class that allows you to work with your child from 6 months to 3 years of age.
• If I have more than one child enrolled in a session will they take lessons at the same time? Yes, I do my best to be sure siblings are taking lessons at the same time. Unfortunately, there are circumstances that do arise when we have to place children into lessons during different time slots.
• When will I receive my confirmation? Typically confirmations are sent out via e-mail one week before the start of each session. Please note, if you only receive one confirmation but have multiple children enrolled in the lessons each child DOES have a spot- our e-mail system will not send duplicate communications to the same account. 
• How do I make a payment? Payments can be made through the e-funds system, or by check or money order. We expect payments for the first class.
• Can I cancel my enrollment after I’ve registered? We understand things happen, it is very important to notify Erin Kurtz gooeri@share.wilsonsd.org as soon as you realize you have conflicts with the session of lessons you’re enrolling your child in, as we do have a waitlist.
• When will my child be able to swim on his or her own? Swimming is not a natural skill for most people learning to swim will take some time, practice, and confidence. It may take a child repeating a level more than once to advance and feel confident in their swimming ability.
• When can I enroll my child in the next session? All of the registration information is located on the website and it must be completed online.
• Can I request an instructor? We will do our best to fulfill instructor requests but please understand these requests may not be granted.
• Can I watch from the pool deck? We ask our families to sit in our beautiful viewing gallery located above the pool. This ensures that your child gets the attention they need and that our instructors stay on task. In the event of behavior issues or if you have a young child who is scared you will be invited to be on the pool deck.
• What should I bring to swim lessons? Your child needs to come with a swimsuit, towel, and goggles if they so desire- we do not supply goggles and we do not permit swimmies or floaties.
• Is the same instructor assigned to my class each week? While we do our best to keep our instructors consistently assigned to the same classes we can not guarantee the instructor will be the same each week. Our instructor staff is made up of mainly our high school aquatic athletes and there are times they will miss classes for various reasons.
