After the swimming requirements are met and you've paid for your class, you will be issued your book and study materials. It is strongly recommended that you study the material and practice the prerequisites because you will have to swim them at the deepwater pool to pass the course. Private Swim Instructors are available if you need help developing your swimming. Visit our Private Swim Lessons page for info & booking lessons.
