Report Cards Given Out Report Cards Given Out Picture Day! Picture Day!

1st Day of Class: On the first day of class, the swim lesson supervisor (Rachel Langi) reviews swim lesson expectations with parent’s while the students are given a safety tour of the pool deck. Students are taught various topics such as:  Pool rules  Deck rules  Life safety

This also allows for a constructive space for parent feedback!

Midway Reports Parents will receive Midway reports during the 3rd week of the swim lesson session. The goal of a Midway re- port is to inform the parent what their child excels at in the water, where they need to continue to receive coaching and what swim lesson level they are currently at.

Report Cards Given Out Report cards are given out by the teachers on the last day of the session. The goal of report cards is to inform parent’s what their child learned during the session and what level they should enroll in for the next session.

Picture Day! A new addition to the Matt Griffin Swim Lesson program, picture day allows parent’s to take pictures of their child’s swim lesson group!
