Reopening and what it might look like!
We look forward to providing a fun and safe space for our children to learn swimming again! It will happen:)
We are working hard to create new swim policies and procedures that will help keep our community safe and sound!

When we have an "official" policy/procedure outlined, you all will be the first to know!

California State Parks
Offering their PORTS program to connect children to parks all across California! Quite a lot of fun to explore, and who knew there were so many cool parks in CA?!?

As many of you know, we have two somewhat young children and this time has been difficult but also very special for us and them. Odin has picked up some chords on the Ukulele! Ophelia has been making jewelry and other art projects!
This is just a reminder that there is some kid in all of us and there is always room for something new! I hope you find yourself struggling a little bit and overcoming a new task this quarantine!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding this information! We are here for you! Stay safe and have some fun!
The Judson-Zimmels, Margheritis and the whole Adventure Sports Family Thanks you for being a part of our rad little community!

Ride out the Wave Santa Cruz
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
BUSINESSES
NEED YOUR HELP.
Social distancing is necessary for public health but devastating to small business. Purchasing online gift cards is a small, but impactful way to help our community ride out the wave. Find your favorite local business and throw them some cash!

Kelp Pickling Class
May 1st and 3rd, 2020
Our kelp pickling class is a wonderful endeavor for the whole family. It foretells the times of community gatherings to provide food for all. Since early times, home canners have enjoyed the art of pickling foods. It is one of the oldest known methods of preserving food. The Chinese were fermenting vegetables as early as the third century B.C and the Romans were pickling by the first century A.D. Pickles even followed the colonist to America and now picked kelp is coming to Santa Cruz! What a great way to be one with our kelp forest and get a great reward in the form of a delicious treat. We will pick a beach noted for a variety of succulent sea vegetables. Here we will search for our in tide pools and by boogie board. We will then return to Adventure Sports to pickle as only a family group can do-the pool will be open for fun. This is a wonderful activity for everyone in your family and will instill an ethos of community for one and all. We will have an evening of planning on Friday followed by a morning of collecting and pickling on Sunday. Finishing touches for the feast will be assigned to students.
Children are encouraged to attend, but should have some ocean experience and be accompanied by an adult.

Make-Up Classes
We do offer make up classes in the event that your child should miss any of their classes (limit two make ups per session). Make up classes may be scheduled for any day Saturday through Thursday in any currently scheduled class that is not full. All makeup classes must be scheduled through the Swim Office. Please DO NOT just drop into a class with an open space.
All make ups must be completed by the next session after it was missed (ex. if you missed a class in January session, you have until the end of the February session to make it up). Please contact the swim office to set up make up classes.

Lost Goggles??
Have you lost or accidentally left your googles behind?
At the end of each swim day, we collect anything left behind at the pool and put them in our lost and found bin, except for goggles because know that goggles are a personal swim item and important. We keep the lost goggles in the Office at the Swim Desk, safe for you to pick up later. We will only be keeping the lost googles until the end of each session. At the end of each session, the lost and found goggles will be donated.
If you happen to loose your googles, please come by the swim office as soon as possible to retrieve them. We DO NOT loan out the lost and found goggles because they are not ours to loan.

Hot Tub Policy
Hot tub play is an integral part of swim instruction at Adventure Sports. Kids will practice what they learn in class and as you know, the distraction of play goes a long way in learning new physical skills. The kids will get braver and braver, sometimes too brave and need a little assistance.
We need your help to keep the hot tub open: The hot tub has always been
OFF LIMITS
to all
NON-SWIMMERS
unless a parent is within arms-reach of their child - preferably in the hot tub with them.
If your child is a Beginner, Beginner +, Beginner Breather or Little Strokes, they are considered a
NON-SWIMMER.
If you are unable or unwilling to follow this rule, your child may NOT go into the hot tub. Please do not rely on others to see that your child stays safe in the hot tub.
The swim instructors are only responsible for the children in their class at the time of their class, not before or after class. Texting, emailing, surfing the web, reading, or talking with a friend on the deck can all be distracting. Please pay attention to your children while they are in or out of the water whether they are a swimmer or not. We want them and you to have a fun, positive experience at Adventure Sports.

Payment and Cancellation Policies
Payment Policy:
Adventure Sports requires full payment prior to scheduling your children's classes. If you request to have your child continue into the next session, payment is due at that time.
Cancellation & Refund Policy:
If you cancel your child's swimming class prior to scheduling (third Friday of a session) you may receive a full refund. If you cancel your child's swimming class after they are scheduled, but prior to the session starting you may receive a credit for the class. If you cancel your child's swimming class after a session has begun, or if your child refuses to participate in the class, there are no refunds or credits.
