Dear 2023 Spring Swim students,

Thank you so much for registering for swim lessons at MVCC. I would like to introduce myself I am Bethany the new Aquatic Coordinator here at MVCC. I have been working in aquatics for over 15 years. I am very delighted to take on this opportunity in making sure your child/children have the best swim lessons in the area. If you are new I welcome you, if your child is a returning swimmer I’m happy to see you back.

Here at MVCC we are a progressive learn to swim program. Each swimmer most mastered certain skills before they can move on to the next level. At the end of the session, you will receive a written evaluation of your child’s progress. This progress report will include what class level they where in and what level they should be in next session. Please keep in mind that ever child develops at different rate. We are here to help your child learn how to swim by play and guiding them in the water. There are a lot of things you will see the instructors doing that you don’t even realize are helping your child learn not only how to swim but also learning skills that help them interact with peers, have better eye hand coordination, develop body strength and confidence that they will bring with them for life.

What to Bring Please bring a BATHING SUIT, TOWEL, SWIM GOGGLES, and tie up long hair or wear a swim cap.  I have a list of googles that I recommend below.

• Children aged 2 – 7 Sporti Cabo Jr. googles they are the best fitting/sealing and comfortable for younger swimmers.
• Children 3-10 TYR kids swimple Tie Dye googles these have a little bigger eye sockets for older children they are also a little softer then the Cabo googles.
• Older children 8 – adult I will always recommend Speedo Vanquishers or Sporti S2 or S3. These will give your child a comfortable google with a great seal for the best price.

Swim Winter 2023 Swim students,

Thank you so much for registering for swim lessons at MVCC! Below is the class in which you are enrolled and a few helpful reminders.

[Section.Title]

Start Date: [Section.StartDate]

Time: [Section.StartTime]

Location: [Room.Name], [Building.Name],

 [Building.Address]

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early and wait on the bleachers inside the pool area for the instructor to call the class. Attendance will be taken at the start of each class. Before class begins, please supervise your child while using the restroom and changing into their bathing suit.  Please bring a BATHING SUIT, TOWEL, SWIM GOGGLES (if tolerated), and tie up long hair or wear a swim cap.  All students in the Parent & Child and Preschool with Parent classes must wear “little swimmers” – NO DIAPERS. 

We ask that parents and siblings watch from the bleachers or from the hallway only (please do not sit along the side of the pool).

We recommend you keep your child’s personal belongings with you while you wait. There are many people in and out of the locker room and we would hate for things to get into wrong backpacks.

If taking pictures or video, please be considerate and capture only your child particularly if uploading to a social media site.  In addition, if your child has any special needs, please inform the instructor so that he/she can make sure that your child gets the maximum benefit from the lessons. In case of inclement weather check www.mvcc.edu.  If the college closes, we cancel classes; if the college stays open we have classes.  Thunderstorms can temporarily close the pool.  If this happens, we will do our best to schedule a make-up class.

Please let me know if you have any questions!  

Sincerely, Bethany Skeltis Aquatic Coordinator
