Athletic Adventures Aquatic Center FAQs

• Safety is our number one priority, and prevention is the only way to prevent accidents from happening in our pool!
• Students who have been potty trained for less than 6 months, and those NOT COMPLETELY potty trained, must wear 2 SNUG-FITTING REUSABLE swim diapers.
• According to the CDC, no swim diaper holds fecal material for more than 3-5 minutes. By double diapering, we hope to get the full 5 minutes.
• Although we don’t require the brand (Happy Nappy) of reusable diapers we sell, we have found them to be the best in containing fecal material. Reusable swim diapers can be purchased in our swim shop.
• All cloth swim diapers need to pass the two-finger test; if you can insert two fingers under the elastic of the legs and waist, the swim diaper is too large, and the child will not be allowed in the water.

Poop happens! Unfortunately, it sometimes occurs in swimming pools, which can lead to closures. Prevention is better for everyone involved.

Please ensure that your child visits the bathroom before the lesson starts, even if they went at home. If you see your child doing the “potty dance” or making the “potty face,” please take them out of class and bring them to the bathroom. Some children may be reluctant to inform the teacher if they need to go.

If your child is sensitive to the swim diaper, you can use a disposable diaper underneath the two reusable ones, like Little Swimmers. However, please note that Little Swimmers do not count as one layer because they do not hold anything in. They can serve as a barrier between sensitive skin and the swim diaper.

Since the diaper must fit snugly to be effective, there may be marks where the elastic is on the swim diaper.

• If a child is not toilet trained or is toilet trained for less than six months, the child must wear 2 SNUG FITTING, REUSABLE DIAPERS. Please read through our Diaper Policy.
• Bring at least one large towel for a quick wrap-up after leaving the water. While the water is warm, children often feel chilled as they exit the pool and enter the changing area.
• If you opt to change out of the wet bathing suit before leaving, a plastic bag for wet clothes is helpful.

Yes, although our classes will vary each week, our curriculum is designed to cover a specific set of skills at each level. This means your child will not miss out on any skill instruction, no matter when they join.

Please note that our program offers continuous enrollment. You can join our classes at any time, and tuition will be prorated accordingly. Your child will remain enrolled in our program until you submit a drop request through our parent portal.
