Swim Tests

All participants enrolled in Battle Born Kids that would like to swim on the designated swim days are encouraged to complete a swim test prior to the first swim day.  Swim tests will be available during Battle Born Kids Open House. Those enrolled in a Henderson Swim Academy swim lesson may qualify as swim fit at the end of class. Swim tests consist of the participant being able to jump in the water, swim half of the pool lane length unassisted (15 yards), turn around, swim back to the wall, and climb out of the pool. Any swimmer who is unable to complete this test independently will be required to wear a lifejacket while at the pool during swim times and will not be permitted to use the slide amenities. Swim tests are designed to keep participants safe, therefore if staff feel the participant is struggling to swim independently, they may be required to retest.

Meals 

Lunch will be provided by our food service partner, Three Square. Snacks are not provided. Please provide a healthy lunch, snack, and water bottle for your child every day if they decide not to eat what is provided.
