If these alternative times don’t work for you, all afternoon Perry swim and <strong>dive</strong><br />
participants are welcome to attend swim or <strong>dive</strong> <strong>team</strong> practices at the other<br />

SKILLS ASSESSMENTS-SWIM TEAMS<br />
We want to remind you that there are minimum skill levels required for your<br />
children to be on the swim <strong>team</strong>. Your child must be able to swim the entire<br />
length <strong>of</strong> the pool (25yds) without hanging on the lane lines or receiving<br />
assistance from the coaches after the first two weeks <strong>of</strong> the program. All children<br />
in the 5-6 and 7-8 age groups will be evaluated by the coaches during practice.<br />
Unlike previous years, we are not doing a “test day” that makes some children<br />
more nervous when they swim. If your child is struggling, the coaches will work<br />
with them and try to give them more instruction. The maximum time allotted for<br />
the 25yard swim is 60 seconds. During this timing, the coaches will be<br />
evaluating the swimmers to ensure they are swimming in a freestyle manner (no<br />
doggy paddle!). If your child has been determined to not meet these standards,<br />
your account will be credited/refunded and your child will be directed to<br />
swimming lessons.<br />
REFUND POLICY<br />
Just a reminder, the refund/credit deadline for this program is May 16 at 6pm.<br />
Credits/refunds will be issued for those who do not pass skill assessment during<br />
the first week <strong>of</strong> the program only. If your child simply elects not to participate or<br />
does not pass the skills assessment or attend practice to improve their skills, we<br />
unfortunately cannot <strong>of</strong>fer a refund or credit.<br />
