Attention Parents & Guardians: We know scheduling conflicts occur when you have kids. But due to the nature of the swim lesson program, and the close watch we keep on instructor/student ratios, we, unfortunately, cannot offer make-up classes for missed time by students during your swim lesson session (unless you are enrolled in Private Lessons). We will schedule a make-up lesson if Star Hill cancels a lesson due to weather or issues with the pool. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Thank you.
All participants must have a signed waiver on file with Star Hill Family Athletic Center.
