Swimming is our most popular course, therefore it fills up first. If you are locked out of a swimming course, we strongly encourage you to put your name on the "waiting list" that we have created in our registration page. Frequently, as lifeguards become available, we open up more classes or increase our class size. When we do, we will pull names off of the list to populate those classes.
