Does My child need to know how to swim?
We have a shore to shore policy regarding the use life jackets at the CSS@P. While it is best if your child is comfortable with the water, they do not need to be experienced swimmers. We will be conducting a swim check in life jackets, as a part of each of our classes in order to identify the strength and comfort level of each of our students. This does not require prior swimming experience and is closely monitored by our staff.
