(3–12-year-olds) Swim School and Stroke School Attendance Policy:
Anyone missing the first day of class, must email the facilities’
Pool Manager prior to the start of the class in order to not be
automatically dropped from the class session. Saturday, before the
first day of lessons, participants will receive a reminder email of
the upcoming swim lesson, attendance policy and the email address of
the Pool Manager. When the first day of class is missed without prior
written notification, the next person on the waitlist will be notified
of the open spot. The City of Phoenix has a streamlined, swim lesson
registration process for Starfish Swim Lessons. You will simply select
the session dates and time you would like to attend, and our talented
team will do the rest! On the first day of lessons, certified Swim
Lesson Instructors will perform swim testing on each participant;
assessing swimming abilities based on the Starfish Swimming Lessons
Benchmarks (see below). Your child will then be placed in the
appropriate class, with similarly skilled children. Class ratios will
be 1 instructor to no more than 6 children. Starfish Swim School
