Make-Up Policy: No make up classes are offered for lessons missed by participants.  If for some reason Rapid City Aquatics must cancel a class, every effort will be made to provide a make-up session.

Attendance is important for your child. It is important that the instructor develops a strong leadership role with the class.  This will enable the instructor to conduct an orderly and disciplined class, as well as enhance each student's confidence as they progress. We prefer parents watch the lessons from the seating area on the deck.
