7. I am not sure what level to sign my child up for. Where can I see the skills and techniques being taught in each level?

All levels at AFFC are taught by certified water safety instructors through the American Red Cross. You can view the skills for each level here.

8. I am trying to sign-up both of my children at the same time, but I see that the Level 3 is full. Can you add a spot for my daughter? Or when are you going to add classes?

Swim lesson coordinators are in charge of adding classes and spots into the computer. Sometimes they are able to if they can hire more teachers or aides.

We update our Facebook regularly to notify patrons when spots have opened up. Please refer to our Facebook page in case we are able to do so, but for now if the class is full, we can help you find another class at a different time or session.

9. Can my other children swim in the pool while some of my children are in lessons?

No, the pool is closed for open swimming during swim lessons. Children may not swim or be in the water during public swim lessons unless they are enrolled and paid for a swim lesson class.

10. My child is two years old and potty-trained so they don’t need a swim diaper for lessons, right?

Unfortunately that is not the case. While we appreciate your effort in training your children under the age of three to use the restroom at our facility, all children under the age of three, and adults who cannot control their bowel movements must wear swim diapers in an effort to keep the pool sanitary and comply with Utah County Health Code. We offer swim diapers at the desk for your convenience.

11. I have heard that if I sign-up for the 11:35 a.m. session I can stay on the lawn and swim with my kids after lessons are over, because then the pool opens up to the public, is that right?

No, if you sign-up for the 11:35 a.m. you may not stay and swim with your children/family after lessons are over. After lessons the pool deck is cleared of patrons. You will be asked to line up pay admission, or enter your pass number to gain access to the pool for open swim. However, you are welcome to leave your belongings (i.e. chairs, beach towels, coolers etc.) in the spot that you were sitting during lesson if you’d like. Furthermore, AFFC is not responsible for lost or stolen items on the deck. You do so at your own risk.outside the deck on the south entrance until 12:30 p.m.
