Strawberry School Swim Program

Tailored Swim Instruction with Certified Professional Coaches.

 

Summer 2024 (June 1, 2024 - September 20, 2024)

To maximize the safety for both our students and the teaching staff, here are a few measures we are implementing for our program.

  1. All our staff are fully COVID19 vaccinated. Proof can be provided upon request.

  2. Students and guardians will complete the temperature and safety screening upon arrival.

  3. For safety reasons, an outdoor changing tent will be provided while the indoor bathroom will be not available.

  4. While keeping the face masks on at the facility, wearing masks in the water is not recommended. A wet cloth mask can make it difficult to breathe and likely will not work correctly.

  5. For enhanced safety, our coaches will be wearing face shields during the class.
