A Patch Clinic Information
JUNE 16 – JUNE 27, 2008
What is an A-Patch?
An A-Patch is given to a child who can swim one length of the pool and tread water for two minutes. While wearing the A-Patch the child is allowed in the deep-end of the pool (5 feet area) including the diving well & slide.
Please Note – It is not a prerequisite to attend the A-Patch Clinic in order to pass the A-Patch test. This clinic is designed to help those achieve this goal.
Objective: To provide swimming instruction to those members who have children attempting to get their A-Patch. The purpose of this class is to motivate and teach the children basic swimming instruction and to be able to swim one length of the pool and tread water for 2 minutes.
Reqs: Swimmer must be a member of the pool and able to stand in the shallow end of the pool (approx. 3 feet).
Cost: Free to pool members!
Classes: There will be eight ˝ hour classes, Monday through Thursday, for two consecutive weeks. There will be a “bad weather” make-up day on Friday if a class has been canceled. If a child tries for their A-Patch and succeeds, they have the option to finish the class or let someone else fill their spot.
Times: There will be four classes in the morning (10:00, 10:30, 11:00 and 11:30), four classes in the afternoon (2:30, 3:00, 3:30, and 4:00), and four classes in the evening (6:00, 6:30, 7:00,7:30).
Instructors: Clinic Instructors are life-long members of the swim team and come highly recommended by Coach Sue. Current swim team coaches Kelsey Frank and Erica Frank are both certified in CPR/Life Saving & Water Safety Instruction (WSI). Matt Dawson is a graduate of the swim team & has his WSI certification.
There will be 12 classes of 5 children only. The first 60 children who sign up will be assigned a class. Any others will be put on a waiting list.
