A new swim session and a few spots left.

Tomorrow, June 22 we begin another swim session.  Please be very careful where you park.  You should park from the west edge of our driveway all the way to Cloverdale on our side of the street.  You may park in our driveway also.  Please remember to car pool and bring only one car per family to keep our neighbors happy!

Also, there are still two spots available for swimmers.  There is an advanced spot at 12:30 and a beginner spot at 4:00.  If you're interested in either of these spots, please call Cindy 713-8113.

Thanks.  We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Parking at swimming!

Swimmers, we are having a real problem with parking.  Several of my neighbors have complained about the sheer number of cars.  Although we love having parents and grandparents pool side to cheer the kids on, we need each family to bring only 1 car to swim lessons.  Last night several times we had over 17 cars parked along our frontage and with a blind curve on Ginger Creek I'm worried about everyone's safety coming and going.  Parking could be the issue that causes us to lose the ability to teach here and we would hate for that to happen.  So please help us out and plan on just one car.  Thanks in advance!

Parking for swimming

Swimmers, you may find parking difficult today because our across the street neighbor is preparing for a large garage sale.  Please  carpool to reduce the number of total cars and remember NOT to park on the other side of the street when coming for swim lessons.  We've already had one incident today where a swim client inadvertently blocked part of the dirt driveway of a neighbor.  And he's really angry about it.  This may jeopardize our ability to teach.  Thanks for helping us out.

Plan for Registration for our Swim Classes Mid-April

If you are new to Cathy's School for Lil' Fish, welcome! If you are a returning client, welcome back! We teach seasonal swimming lessons starting the end of May/beginning of June through August each year.  It is an outdoor pool, but we keep it heated nice and toasty (I'm a baby about cold water!).  Our swimming lessons run in 2 week sessions and students come every day Monday - Thursday during those 2 weeks.  We offer small group lessons with a 3:1 student to teacher ratio (maximum of 6 in a class except in rare cases where we have to move someone to a different level and end up with 7) and only one class in the pool at a time for a great learning environment.  

We plan to post our Summer 2015 schedule on April 10th and begin registration for returning clients on April 16th.  Open Registration will begin April 23rd.  So check back here around then for registration instructions or like our Facebook page for updates!
