Students will receive a colored stamp on their hand and parents will receive a Water Watcher tag upon check in at the pool. Students must then wait with caregivers / parents until they are called to the pool. Once students have been called to their dots, parents will hand their Water Watcher tag to a member of the Makai Swim School team and then have their children sit on their dot.
Please refrain from engaging with your child during their lesson, this confuses them on who is in charge and does not allow for trust to build between instructor and student. If you feel you need to intervene, please check with the Deck Supervisor first.
