Frequently Asked Questions How can I sign my child up for the swim team? Send us an email at jriley@kidsclub.org to schedule an assessment.
Do you have financial aid? We do for individuals who are Clubhouse members. Please note that financial aid does not apply to programming that occurs on weekends.
What should I pack for my child? We recommend packing a suit, towel, and goggles as our supple is limited, as well as a bag for your child’s wet items.
Can I watch practice or lessons? We are a youth only Clubhouse, which means our practices and lessons are a closed deck. We do this with the safety of the children in mind.
