Swim Lessons Open Swim 1. Is your pool heated? -Yes! (Pool Temp ranges from 82-85 oF) 2. What is considered a Rancho Rinconada resident? - 3. Are you looking to hire guards or instructors? When should I apply? -Yes! We hire seasonal employees every summer. We will do interviews in April and will thus require applications be turned in in March. - Playtime serves an important purpose especially with beginning swimmers. Having fun at the end of the day almost always makes kids excited to return the next day. It helps to fight the fear of the water and can be used as an incentive for distracted or unusually energetic children. Some games like diving for rings, sticks, or torpedos are often used as part of the lesson itself. While it may not be evident as to what purpose playtime serves, rest assured that there are usually good reasons. 3. Why can't my child learn butterfly yet? - Butterfly is a hard stroke, it requires timing, endurance, and a lot of upper body strength. Many students don't develop the muscles to perform the stroke until puberty, while for others muscle fatigue limits the amount of time an instructor can spend on butterfly. In addition to these physical limitations, the timing itself is difficult because it is not possible to stop the stroke partway to point out an error. While some children can learn this stroke, most do not and cannot perfect it. Open Swim
1. Why do all the kids need to get out of the pool during adult swim? - Adult swim serves 4 important purposes. The first, is to give kids a rest. Many will swim the entire day and can easily become fatigued. The second is to allow adults a time to swim laps, while leaving the shallow end for parents with infants. The third reason for adult swim is to help parents retrieve children who are having too much fun to want to leave. Lastly the snack shack is open and it helps to keep food out of the pool if kids are also out too. 2. Why is the back bathroom door always locked? - It's not. You just need to turn the handle ;) |
