Policies
Parents
As a parent, we want you to be involved with your child’s learning process! Please feel free to talk to your child’s instructor or program coordinator about any questions you may have. During lessons, please remain seated in the designated area. Participants must have a parent or guardian present at all times.
While we do provide appropriate equipment for the lessons, we suggest that you bring your own goggles and/or cap. Female students should also consider a one-piece suit for more advanced levels. If Level 1 students have a hard time getting accustomed to the water, parents may bring a toy(s) to make them feel more comfortable.
Inclement Weather/Cancellation of classes
In case of bad weather, especially during the winter season, we will follow the university’s cancellations. If the university cancels classes and closes the campus, swimming lessons will not be held for that day. To find out if the campus is closed, visit www.louisville.edu. Updates will be posted if the campus is on a delayed schedule, classes are cancelled, etc. For Sunday lessons, if you are unsure about lessons, you can e-mail me at Splash@louisville.edu. If the weather is severe, use your best judgement.
Make-ups
We do not offer make-ups for classes missed by the participants. If for any reason we must cancel a class, we will attempt to find a time to make up the class. If there is not a time available, we will offer a credit for the cancelled class time.
Private Lessons
If you prefer one-on-one instruction, we offer private swim lessons. They will be arranged between you and the instructor to fit both of your schedules. Each half hour is $20. To schedule a lesson, please email splash@louisville.edu.
