Welcome to J-Hawk Aquatic Club Swim Lessons page. |
Our swim lessons are designed to teach children how to swim in just 6 weeks. How
do we do this? With us, children get outstanding instructors who are experienced
competitive swimmers that love working with children. Plus, our instructors keep
the children off the walls as much as possible. We take pride in our program's success.
We encourage every family to try it out for 1 week FREE before deciding to join
and pay fees.
We offer 4 levels of classes: Tot Swim, Clingers, Self-Supporters, and Pre-Competition
and all practrices are at UW-Whitewater, Williams Center Pool unless otherwise stated.
SICKNESS AND POTTY TRAINING --- PLEASE
READ!
The J-Hawk Aquatic
Club rents the university pool.
When an accident
occurs in the pool (bowel movement or vomit), it must be shocked (high levels of
chlorine). The pool must also close for many hours, causing cancellation of
other university programs and practices.
It is extremely
important that all families abide by the following rules and guidelines:
Illness - if your
child is not feeling well, do not bring them to lessons.
Swim Suit Diaper - If your child is not potty trained or has been potty trained
for less than 2 months, they are
REQUIRED to wear a swim suit diaper.
