Swim Lesson Information

Swim Lesson Quick Tips• There is no sure way to predict how quickly your child will

progress. Consider that most children do not move directly from level 2 to level 3 or from level 3 to level 4.

• Pollywogs is similar to Level 1 while Guppies is similar to Level 2. The reason for the preschool separation is to avoid huge age differentials i.e., a 4 year old in Level 1 with a 9 year old.

• Please keep in mind the benefit of being added to the waitlists. Your child may end up in a class. There have been changes to the way you sign up for waitlist. There is now only one waitlist for evenings and one for morning for each session. We will open up whichever class has the highest demand.

• If you want your child to acclimate and be more aware around the water by summer, sign them up for swim lessons now!

• Contact aquatic management for any questions or concerns regarding your childs swim level placement including future registration.

Youth Sports

TEAM SELECTION PROCEDUREThe following procedure will be used in forming teams in each youth sports program.

1. Youth player registration will be open for at least one month.

2. The Youth Sports Coordinator will open a certain number of teams, depending on the anticipated number of partic-ipants. Each team will have a roster limit, after these spots are full, there can be no additional registration for that team. Each team will be assigned a team letter or name. Teams will already be grouped by the following criteria:

a. Age Division (Grade level or actual age) b. The player’s gender, (Brighton Youth Sports reserves the right to make teams co-ed if the situation requires).

3. Players may be registered to any of the teams for which they fit the criteria; (a 7 year old boy may be registered for any 7 year old boy’s team), and for which there are roster spots available.

4. Individual coaches will contact players after the rosters are made official and distributed at the coaches meeting for that sport.

5. The City of Brighton Youth Sports Staff must retain the right to reallocate players in order to maintain control over team balance. If a team proves to be exceptionally competitive, Youth Sports Staff reserves the elastic right to separate those players.

6. Participants must turn the minimum age for the program before the last scheduled day of the program. a. Registrants will only be allowed to move up one age division. However, the participant must meet the minimum age for the activity. (ex: for youth soccer, players must turn 6, the minimum age for the program, by the last scheduled game or day of the program.)

7. Registration will be open after teams are chosen but only on a space-available basis. Late registrations will be placed according to the number of open positions on rosters. Late registrations can only be placed where there are roster spots available - specific team assignment is forfeited after the deadline.

8. After the registration deadline has passed, a waiting list will be kept. The person at the top of the waiting list will be contacted if a roster spot becomes available.

9. Once a team has practiced for two weeks or played any regular season games, participants are not allowed to switch rosters and play for an other Brighton Youth Sports team in the same sport.

10. Participants must not change teams without the express permission of the youth sports coordinator. Coaches do not have the authority to transfer players to different teams.

Special Summer Classes / Events

Nordic Walking InstructionNordic Walking is walking with poles – a European fitness trend for years. Using poles can increase cardio-respiratory endurance and muscular strength while increasing mobility in the upper and lower extremities. If you have some physical challenges with knees or hips, Nordic Walking can help you get walking again. You will be amazed how much they help. Nordic walking poles can be used on grass, outdoor trails, sidewalks, even indoor walking tracks. Instructor Sarah Hoskins-Claymore will provide poles for you to use. Class meets at the Eagle View Adult Center in the lobby, but class is held outside.
