Hello swim families,

I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday! Here is what to expect on the first day-

First of all, make sure you park in the lot directly in front of the Tarleton Aquatic Center entrance. You should see the outdoor pool off to the right when looking at the pool building.

When you enter the facility, you’ll have to register for a Tarleton rec center day pass for your swimmer (parents do not pay to stay and watch). The lifeguard check in desk will have a QR code link for quick access on your phone and it’ll be a $5 fee that has to be paid with credit or debit card.

I will have parking passes you can take out to your car and put on your dash. It should be good to use all summer so hold on to it and make a copy of it if you think you’ll be coming in different vehicles.

Kids can change into their swim suits in the locker rooms just before we start at 3:30. Remind your kiddos the bathroom/locker room is used by all gym patrons so they need to be respectful of others and shouldn’t leave their personal belongings in there during practice. We will have plenty of bleacher space open for their bags.

On day 1, we’ll go through intros, rules, and the summer schedule. Next, we’ll do some stretching and dryland exercises on deck. Then, we’ll get into the pool and go over the basics. At 4:20, anyone who needs or wants to get out, can do so. The last 40 minutes will be less instruction and more lap swimming. I will design the workout to be manageable for all levels and speeds; the kids have the freedom to push themselves as hard as they choose.

On Monday, remember swim suits, goggles, and cash/check/venmo payment if you did not already submit payment through the swimtopia website.

Let me know if you have any other questions! Feel free to call or text me anytime- 254-784-9086
