if space is available. If a move cannot be
accommodated, the instructor should be able to
work with the student at the appropriate skill level.

progress to the next level?
A. Yes. Transfers can be made up until noon on
the Friday before the next session begins if
there is space in the next level. Please call

to assist you.

|
|
Q. What happens if I am placed on a wait list?
A. If you are placed on a wait list, the Aquatics
Office will notify you should an opening
become available. Notification may come
as late a 48-hours prior to the start of the
class. Please make sure your contact
information is current and up to date to
ensure you receive notification in a timely
manner. If we cannot reach you we will offer
the space to the next person on the wait list.
|
Q. When do I have to cancel a class to receive
