Swim Academy
This program is intended to provide students with the opportunity to further enhance their swimming skills and grow personally in an aquatic environment. It gives the students the opportunity to become confident in the water. It is intended for all levels of swimmers. Competitive and non competitive are welcome.
We Expect You To
· Arrive on time wearing an appropriate swim gear (or PE gear when needed)

The OKM Swim Academy expects that all students will participate to the best of your abilities in all class activities. This class is not designed as a homework block and should not be treated that way. If you are too sick to swim or participate in gym activities, it is best if you rest and recover at home. A parent should email/ send a note to excuse you from that particular class.
