2009 Swim/Dive Lesson News
At NSJ we are fortunate to offer both group and individual swim lessons throughout the summer. Group lessons are given both in the morning and the evenings. Lessons are based on skill level. Sign-up for group swim lessons by printing out the registration form, fill in your preference of session along with the level and mail it as early as possible. Classes will be filled in the order in which the registrations are received.
Group swim lessons will be offered in 2-week sessions, the first session starting June 23rd. Lessons ½ hour and are given Monday through Friday. The morning lesson times will be 10:55am or 11:30am and the evening lesson times will be 5:55pm or 6:30pm. The instructors request that everyone be at the pool at least 5 minutes before the time of the lesson so the lessons can start on time. Class list will be posted at the pool after Memorial Day weekend.
Please fill in the group swim lesson registration form, including your 1st and 2nd choices and return it to the Club Manager (address listed on the form) by May 31st.
If you have any questions, please contact the Club Manager.
Remember, children must be potty trained to receive swim lessons.
