Q. My child likes the water but not putting her head under water.
A. THIS IS VERY TYPICAL. SOMETIMES THE ONES WHO LOVE IT IN YEARS PAST SOMETIMES BECOME AFRAID AT THIS AGE. THE FIRST WEEK OF LESSONS IS VERY HARD ON THE KIDS AS THEY ARE THRUST INTO THIS STRANGE PLACE, WITH A STRANGE PERSON, WITH OTHER STRANGE KIDS. SO THERE IS A PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT. USUALLY BY THE LAST CLASS THERE IS REMARKED IMPROVEMENT.
Q.When you conduct lessons do parents stay out with you or stay inside?
A. I DONT MIND EITHER WAY. IF THE LITTLE ONE HAS ISSUES SEEING THE PARENT I CAN SEND THEM INSIDE IF THE CHILD DOES BETTER WITH THE PARENT HIDDEN.
Q. In the Group class, are the kids in the pool one at a time or all at one time? How does that work?
A. I HAVE ALL OF THEM IN THE POOL AT ONCE. I FIND THAT IT IS A GREAT TRAINING TO LEARN TO TAKE TURNS AND LISTEN TO A TEACHER. I THINK THEY DO A LOT BETTER WITH THE PEER PRESSURE TOO. BUT I KNOW THAT GROUP LESSONS ISNT FOR EVERY CHILD. WE CAN TRY OUT THE GROUP LESSONS FOR A FEW CLASSES AND IF IT IS TOO DISTRACTING FOR THEM I WILL RECOMMEND PRIVATE FOR THOSE KIDS.
Q. My child has tubes in their ears. Is there anything special that we should do for thar swimming every day?
A. I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO CONSULT WITH THEIR ENT ON THIS QUESTION.
Q. I am not sure how to print the paper work off this blog.
A. I CAN ATTACH TO AN EMAIL. BUT YOU CAN RIGHTCLICK AND SELECT PRINT PICTURE FROM A PC (NOT SURE ON AN APPLE)
Q. I know several people interested. What is your policy on Referal bonuses.
A.THANK YOU FOR THE REFERAL.http://www.missjaneswimschool.blogspot.com/ IF ANYONE MENTIONS YOUR NAME YOU CAN GET $5 OFF YOUR NEXT SESSION FOR EACH REFERAL (UP TO $10 ON GROUP SESSIONS OR UP TO $15 OFF OF PRIVATE LESSONS)

Summer 2012 Schedule
Summer Schedule can now be found and edited on Docs.Google.com
I'm ready to start scheduling I've made a spreadsheet (see docs.google link below) so people can start putting in their availability. Just put your child's name and age and (B,I, A based on their skill). The skill level on the sheets arent finalized, just need to see what ages and availabilities line up. I will do that after the list starts to fill up and the first day of class when I see what level the kids are at. Call me if you have any questions or want me to do it. 972-567-8784

POLICIES
PAYMENT
Full payment must be received at the start of the session. Make checks payable to Jane Loomis. Paypal also accepted but paypal fee may be included.
REFUNDS
No refunds will be given. Once we have reserved a time slot for you, that spot is considered “sold” and is no longer marketable. Please feel free to give your child’s time slot to a family member or friend. It is your paid slot. When scheduling lessons, it is your responsibility to make sure that vacation, appointments, and health concerns do not interfere with the lessons for which you have enrolled.
MAKE-UP POLICY
Make-up Lessons will only be scheduled on Fridays (only a maximum of 2 make-ups will be offered each session) for weather related cancelations or emergency related issues. If we need to cancel class for any reason (such as lightning or hygene related issues), we will schedule a make-up class for up to two missed days.
Please do not assume lessons are cancelled if it is raining. We will hold all classes unless there is danger presented by lightning. Every effort will be made to update on Facebook page in a timely manner. (https://www.facebook.com/notifications?id=102746889807555#!/MsJaneswimschool) In an effort to provide our families with the times for which they are registered, lessons will not be cancelled any earlier than 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the class time. Every effort will be made to contact you of any cancellations as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
POTTY BREAKS & DIAPERS
Disposable swim diapers are REQUIRED for all students under the age of 3, even those who are potty-trained. As a mom I know how difficult it can sometimes be to ask your child to potty on demand. If possible, please try to have them use the Potty before class time in order to not disrupt the class. Since parents will be on deck, if a Potty break is needed, I will simply ask that the parent take the child inside to use the facilities. Please exercise caution when you bring them inside the house as my floors are tile and will be very slick!
