Swim Skill Evaluations

Swim skill evaluations must be completed for all new participants before registering for the program. Please have your child(ren) wear a swimsuit and bring goggles. Swim skill evaluations are valid for one calendar year. After a year of inactivity, a new evaluation will be required for registration.

Please update your SportsEngine account prior to the registration with an adult as the account holder. New accounts which have not been updated will be deleted after two weeks, and swimmers will be required to complete a new evaluation.

Policies

Photo Policy

Classes and events are occasionally photographed for promotional purposes. By registering for the program, you have granted us permission to use your photograph for promotional purposes. Names will not be posted.

Payments

The Frisco ISD Natatorium accepts all major credit cards for payment.

Waitlists

Participants may be placed on a waitlist when a course has reached its maximum enrollment. There is no charge to be placed on the waitlist. When a cancellation occurs, our staff will contact, in the waitlist order, the participants on the list and offer them the opportunity to register.

Waitlisting for one class does not automatically waitlist a participant for all sessions of the current schedule or the next following season.

Parents & Spectators

Parents and spectators are not allowed on the pool deck area during swim class. We find that children are far more attentive and successful in learning new skills if parents are “out of sight, out of mind.” There is ample spectator seating located upstairs if you wish to observe the classes.
