Have a dress rehearsal at home so your child gets used to wearing swimwear and goggles. 2. Arrive 10 minutes before the start of the lesson so that you and your child become acquainted with the surroundings and will not be flustered. 3. Try to arrive relaxed and positive, especially if the experience is new. Your child will feel secure and lessons are more successful. 4. Toilet your child just prior to their lesson to avoid accidents and disruption during the lesson. If not toilet trained, aqua nappies are to be worn by the infant/toddler while in the pool. 5. For the safety and respect of other club members, ensure your child walks, doesn’t run in the club and is supervised at all times. 6. Be considerate of others and use the disabled change room at all times if available. If not available please be mindful of how much space you are taking up in the change room and leave prams in the corridor. 7. Please stay back from the pool edge while swimming lessons are in progress. It’s great to encourage your child but please leave the discipline and teaching to the instructor. 8. Goggles are a vital aid at various stages of the learning process. They allow the child underwater vision. Goggles can be used for practice in between swimming lessons in the bath tub. 9. It is compulsory for all participants (except infants) to wear swim caps. They keep hair out of the eyes and mouth and allow goggles to slip on more easily. They also help enormously with the pool filtration and therefore keep the pool clean. 10. For their own safety, it is important that children do not enter the pool before or after their scheduled swimming class. This also reduces the distractions to children in other lessons FEEDBACK Your Feedback is extremely important to us, please forward any comments or feedback to the Swim School Coordinator at swimschool@elixr.com.au or by calling 8113 1109.
