PRACTICE TIME (FREE PARENT USAGE)

The Mount Rainier Pool is dedicated to help youth become better swimmers and more comfortable in the water. We realize that swim lessons alone are not enough, and that practice is key to your child's success. This Spring we will continue to allow current youth swim participants and one parent* free entry during the following times.

FREE PRACTICE OPTION TIMES

• NEW Tuesdays, 7-8pm
• NEW Fridays, 5-6pm
• Saturdays, 11:30am-12:30pm

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PRACTICE WITH YOUR CHILD?

1. PLAY: Playing in the water with your children will help them apply their skills in a fun manner.
2. COMFORT: Swimming with your child will help them be more comfortable around the water.
3. BONDING: For teaching younger children, helping support them and perform the skills is a great activity to do together.
4. SUCCESS: Moving up levels in swim lessons takes not only learning, but mastering swim skills.
5. SUPPORT: Practicing with your child shows that you are willing to help them succeed.
6. NEW ENDURANCE: As your child progresses toward higher levels, you must practice with your child to build up their endurance to swim longer distances. Children can have great technique but need physical endurance to swim in Levels 3 and above.
