Chandler Aquatics Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
    

Answers to some of the most common questions asked of the City's Aquatics staff
 

Q.  Can I fax or phone in my registration
        or register online?
  
A.  You can register for classes online.
       However, phone and faxed registration
       will not be accepted.
     

Q.  How many aquatic classes can I register
       my child in for each session?
 
A.  A student may register for a maximum
      of ONE (1) class per session.
   

Q.  Do I have to pay the fee for each class?
 
A.  No. The lesson fees are for a session.
       For example, the fee for a 25 minute
       class is $20. That fee covers the entire
       six-day session.
     

Q.  What swim lesson class should my child
       be in? 
 
A.  Please place your child by skills and
      abilities according to our
      course descriptions. If you  have
      questions, please call the Aquatics
      Office at (480) 782-2750 and we will
      be happy to assist you. You may also

Q. How do I know what level my child will
      advance to for the next session if
      registration is required prior to the
      completion of the session? 
 
A.  A general rule of thumb is that children
      will remain in the same level for at least
      two sessions. Detailed information on
      your child's progress can be provided by
      your child's current instructor. Staff will do 
      their best to move children into the
      appropriate class level the first day of each
      session 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.
      

Q.  Can I change my child's class should they
        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 (480) 782-2756 and
      our staff will be happy 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.
