New continuous enrollment format for Children's Group Swim, Parent/Toddler & Swim Team

The Aquatics Department is excited to announce that our Children's Group Lessons (Levels1-3) will be switching to Automated Billing starting in May 2011! We’ll now be offering continuous enrollment for all children's swim programming. Parent tot families will have unlimited access to all of our clubs, and are free to take as many classes as they’d like for $50/month. Jr Swim Team participants can pick a specific club and time and secure their space for $65/month (WAC Swim Team $75).  Enrollment is continuous, which means you can register at anytime and will remain registered as long as you want! We have had huge success with our Parent Toddler and Swim Teams on this automated billingsystem and look forward to having Level 1-3 on a similar registration format.

Registration required for Parent/Toddler Swim, Advanced Junior Swim Team and Children's Swimming  Lessons. You may contact Monika at msuto@chicagoathleticclubs.com to register for Children's Swim Programs. Please wait for confirmation of receipt of registration before attending classes, as waitlist may be in place.
