NOTICE TO PARENTS: We are more concerned with ability than with age. The PALS swim instructors may exercise the right to relocate students to levels other than the one registered. However, this will be done only if there is availability in the recommended class. The instructors will not jeopardize safety of Red Cross recommendation and will check previous records prior to registration. Improper enrollment may result in the student’s withdrawal from that session of classes, with a pro-rated refund, minus a $3 administrative fee.
