Frequently
Asked Questions
Now that you've registered, here's what you do:

First, swimming attire should be a sport type swim. There are a lot
of skills that require you to jump in and climb out of the water. You
will also be working on the pool deck and using equipment. You
will be in your swim suit a lot and it will be wet, so bring something
that is warm and can dry quickly to change into.   

Second, you will need to bring a lunch with you each day. You will
need food and beverages (water is best) to keep up your energy and
keep you hydrated. Bring healthy snacks--swimming makes you
HUNGRY!

Third, we recommend that you bring multiple towels. Your towel
may not have enough time to dry while you are going in and out of
the water. The weather can be cold in the spring months.

Fourth, be prepared to swim and be in the water a lot, so make sure
you eat a healthy breakfast and a good dinner the night before.
Again, bring snacks and a good lunch!

Fifth, if for some reason you are unable to pass the Pre-Course Test,
please make sure to have a ride home for that day by 12 noon. You
will not be able to participate in the rest of class, so please be
prepared.
