  • For those who are unable to register because spaces are full, we offer in-person second day registration which takes place at 9 a.m. the day after any group class. This is for any lesson  spaces opened up by no shows on the first day of class.  You can also call Pacific Pool to inquire if there are spaces available however, in-person registration take priority.  

  • For year round lessons (September-May):  Please register for the specific swim level your child is qualified for.   If unsure,  swim lesson level assessments are offered by reservation daily.  If currently enrolled, be sure to check with your child's swim lesson instructor for which level to register for next.  

  • For summer swim lessons (June-August):  Please register for the time you are interested in.  The exact level of the participant will be determined by a swim lesson instructor on the first day of class.  

  • Swim lesson class participants MUST be present on the first day of the scheduled swim lesson; otherwise, the participant will be automatically dropped from the class. Refunds or credits will not be authorized in the event this happens. If you know in advance that the participant will be unable to attend the first class session, you must call AND SPEAK TO the supervisor on duty so it can be noted on the roster and then the participant will  be placed on the "Do Not Drop" list and will not be dropped from the session.  You must indicate your child's swim level at this time.

  • Make-up classes are generally not offered.  However, staff will attempt to accommodate make-up class requests.  Unfortunately, there is no guarantee and we appreciate your understanding and kindness.  

  • REFUNDS are not offered for aquatics classes.  Credits for aquatics programs are not typically offered however, under special circumstances, any request would require a minimum of 1 week advance notice to the start of the class.   Credits are not authorized for slower than expected progression, registering for the wrong level or time, registering at the non-resident rate, because of cold, rainy, inclement weather, scheduling conflicts or if you are dropped for missing the first day without properly notifying staff.  Please note, in group lessons, children only have a limited amount of individualized attention and will progress through the classes at their own pace.  Thank you for your understanding. â€‹
