South Elgin offers swim lessons through Bartlett Park District

The South Elgin Parks & Recreation Department is offering swim lessons through the Bartlett Park District Swim Academy at Splash Central, 700 S. Bartlett Road in Bartlett.

You will register at the South Elgin Village Hall as you do with all programs.

The Bartlett Park District Swim Academy has an easy-to-understand progress level system. They have instructors with a high level of training in personal outreach and specialized curriculum development, as well as standardized student evaluations and instruction for both leisure-oriented and competitive-oriented swimmers.

A significant amount of research has gone into formulating the level structure and curriculum for the Bartlett Park District Swim Academy.

As each level builds on the one before it, they encourage participants to take the levels in order for maximum skill retention.

When enrolling during the summer 2015, sign up for the next level after the one most recently completed. On the first day of class, please arrive 15 minutes early for class. Rosters and class assignments will be posted inside the Splash Central viewing room. Students and parents must remain in the Splash Central lobby until class begins. Once class begins, parents and spectators must remain in the viewing room or bleacher area.

Cancellations will not be honored for missed or forgotten classes. Participants must attempt two classes before refund/credit will be considered. The South Elgin Parks & Recreation Refund/Credit Policy can be found in the Community Information Section.

The registration deadline for all aquatics classes is 5 p.m. the Wednesday before the session begins. For the brochure, visit www.southelgin.com or call (847) 622-0003.
