Cancelled Swim Lessons

When inclement weather persists, we must cancel swimming lessons for the morning. We will try to post the cancellation here, on Facebook, and on our voice mail. Also, we often have our instructors call the homes of the children to make sure everyone knows of our decision. We do not reschedule lessons unless more than TWO classes are canceled due to the poor weather (then, we look to Saturday mornings). We appreciate everyone's understanding and flexibility.
