Learn-To-Swim Policies The Learn-to-Swim program is based on the guidelines set by the American Red Cross. We have grouped the ages for the classes based upon our knowledge of abilities of young swimmers. Although your child may have passed all of the preschool classes, they will not be allowed into the higher Level classes until age 6. One of the many differences in skills between Preschool and Level classes is distance/endurance and stroke development. Most preschoolers are not able to swim the required distances in the Level classes. We suggest that even though your child has completed the Preschool classes, he/she should continue to take the highest level class or work on your own with them to increase endurance/distance in the various strokes. Requirements for Preschool distance are 5 yards and the distance for the Level classes are 15 yards. Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) 1801 Riverside Mulberry Pool (MP) 424 West Mulberry Drop-in Swim Test Swim testing allows swim staff to evaluate your child (age 6+) on their swimming ability for proper swim level placement.

General information for Learn to Skate Lessons Lessons are taught by Certified P.S.A. instructors and follow guidelines of the United States Figure Skating Association. Parents may observe lesson from the upstairs bleachers. It is distracting for skaters and coaches to have parents at the gate and also creates an obstruction for skaters that are entering or exiting the ice. Individuals are not allowed on the ice with their shoes on. However, parents are welcome to skate with their child during the 15 minute practice time. EPIC’s rental skates are available free of charge. Our class student to instructor ratio is 1 instructor to 10 students. Any classes larger than 10 will have an assistant added to them. Minimum for all classes, based on cost efficiency is 5. (Class levels may be combined to meet this minimum.) Skating lesson are 30 minutes in length with a 15 minute practice time, which may be before or after your lesson depending on scheduling. The instructors have time in between classes to talk to parents and address their concerns. Please be aware that some levels will need to be repeated to master all the skills. The first day of each lesson is generally termed as level evaluation day. At this time, the instructors will evaluate all of the participants in their assigned classes to make certain they have been correctly enrolled. If there is a problem, the instructor may discuss the best course of action with the parent. Students will be moved if there is space available in the appropriate level of class. There are no make-up lessons for missed skating classes. If the class you wish to register for is filled, you may place your name on a Paid waiting list. We attempt to accommodate the demand for skating lessons by adding new classes, however they may not be at the same time/day as the waiting list class. Classes that do not meet the minimum may be canceled or combined. If you are unable to attend the last day of classes for testing, please request a progress card on the last day you attend.
