Mt. Hood Aquatic Center is able to accept telephone, online and mail-in registration. Please see registration process.
|
| Refund and Credit Policy |
| Refunds or transfer will be given only to requests made three or more working days prior to the first class period. You must present your receipt to be eligible for a refund. After the lesson session has started only one-half credit towards your next lesson purchase will be granted. |
| Waiting List |
| To provide better service, waiting lists are available for all children's programs that have reached capacity. This list is used primarily as a courtesy for cancellations in existing classes. Adding classes in addition to those scheduled depends both on pool availability and on instructor availability. |
|
Swimming Lesson Policies
|
- Parents may observe classes only on the first and last day in the Learner pool. The spectator section to the 25-yard pool and a classroom are provided for your convenience.
- Parents are expected to promptly drop off and pick up their children.
- You may now register for more than one class without waiting for your child to finish the current class. Please consult with Aquatic Staff for proper placement.
- No child 6 years of age or older shall accompany a parent into the opposite sex locker room.
Please note that classes will be combined or cancelled if there are fewer than three children enrolled.
|
| Alternative Changing Areas |
| Mt. Hood Aquatics Center offers two different alternative changing areas for families who need more options. The Hydro pool area has a shower and is located near the men's locker room from the deck. The restrooms under the bleachers are also available as a changing area. |
| Private Swim Lessons |
| Mt. Hood Aquatic Center offers private swim lessons. This program is intended to provide a service to individuals who may have needs beyond the scope of group swim lessons. These may include desiring a one-on-one environment, wanting to work on a specific set of skills, or having special needs that limit the student’s ability to participate in a group. Lessons are offered for all levels, non-swimmer through advanced competitive skills. Please inquire at the Front Desk for more information. |
