If your student will be missing a class for medical reasons, you can contact us to have their absence excused and receive a credit for that class. The process for establishing medically excused absences is explained in more detail in the Wave Swim School Student Policies. The only other way to get an excused absence is if your student’s absence falls under the conditions of our Religious Holiday Policy. Please refer to the Wave Swim School Student Policies for more information on absences due to religious holidays. Any other absences will be considered unexcused, and will not qualify for any credits.

If you are not seeing the class you are looking for, make sure to check a few things: - Check that the program you are looking for allows registration through the Customer Portal (Youth Lessons do not allow online registration) - Check if you are looking at the correct location (you can switch the location in the top right corner of the Customer Portal) - Check the registration dates of the class you are looking for; the classes will not be visible in the portal outside of the registration dates - Check that the student meets the age requirements for the class - Check the filters that you have selected If you have checked everything, and are still not able to see any classes, please contact us at waveswimschool@waveaquatics.org

If you register for a session class that is already full, you will be put on the waitlist for that class. If one of the active enrollments decides to drop before the start of the session, we will contact students on the waitlist to fill the open spot. All waitlist enrollments will be dropped at the end of the session. This means that there will no longer be long waitlists to get into lessons. Families will have a new chance every session to register for lessons.

Students in lessons receive feedback after every lesson, with the final evaluation happening by the final week of the session. These evaluations will be completed by the instructor, and they will be reported in the daily logs for the student.

You can find your student’s evaluations in the customer portal by clicking “My Account” and then clicking the “Evaluations” button for the student you are looking at. You will be able to see star ratings (1-5 stars) for each of the skills in that class level, along with written comments from the instructor. The comments on the last day of each session will include whether or not the student has passed the level.

The comments on the last day of each session will include whether or not the student has passed the level. If your student will be passing their level, you will receive an email from us within the third week of the session. You can also refer to your student's evaluations in the customer portal. If they are getting 4 and 5 stars on all of the skills, they are probably close to passing the level. Please remember that most students will take 3 to 8 sessions to pass a level, and it is expected for students to stay at the same level for multiple sessions.

If you have makeup tokens from lessons prior to June 2023, you may send a written request to waveswimschool@waveaquatics.org to have the makeup tokens exchanged for public swim passes. Each makeup token may be exchanged for 2 public swim passes. These passes will be assigned to the student who had the makeup tokens, we will not assign them to a different member of the family.
