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

	For Preschool Aquatics Levels 1 and 2, parents may observe classes only on the first and last day in the Learner Pool. The spectator section is provided for your convenience.
	Parents are expected to promptly drop off and pick up their children.
	You may register for more than one class without waiting for your child to finish the current class. Please consult with Aquatic Staff for proper placement prior to your next registration.
	No child 6 years of age or older shall accompany a parent into the opposite sex locker room.

Alternative Changing Areas

Mt. Hood Aquatics Center offers two different alternative changing areas for families who need more options. The Hydrotherapy 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. Please inquire at the Front Desk for more information.
