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.

	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.
	No child 6 years of age or older shall accompany a parent into the opposite sex locker room.

Alternative Changing Areas

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.
