Laine has earned her impeccable reputation as the phenomenal Swim Lesson Instructor she is. Parents come from far and near to get their children in to her lessons. We are so lucky to have Laine here with us at Webb's for over 2 decades.
Laine runs 4 sessions per year: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. The schoolyear sessions run for 10 weeks. The child(ren) take 1 lesson per week for the 10 week period. Laine limits her class size to ONLY 4 children, thus she is able to give undivided attention to each child. (Spring session is the busiest session and we sometimes allow 5 children in some classes to better accommodate the seasonal interest). During the Summer, Laine runs three 2-week sessions (thus totalling 8 classes, as these are Tues thru Fri).

Laine has devised an EASY super way to register that she has used over the last few years. Members DO have priority in getting in to the lessons. However, non-members can register also if there is space available. Here is how her great set-up works:
If you are interested in registering your child for Winter 2010 Swim Lessons
1)you should mail or bring in the "Pre-Registration Form" below prior to WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6th. After we have received these from all those interested in lessons, Laine and one of our Member Services Staff get on our computer and calculate your number for Registration Day( via the Category Descriptions below) (For example: if you have been a member for 4 years and your children have take 3 sessions/year for all 4years you might be #16 so we may tell you to (example) come @ 11am on Registration Day to register.) And - for example - some one who has never taken any lessons and is not a member would be near the end of the registration. We do our best to try to accomodate everyone here.
2) Then, on Thursday evening January 7th OR Friday January 8th look on our website here on this page OR look at list posted on door at club showing you what time you should come on Registration Day to bop in and sign up.
Now.....when you come to Registration Day at the time we post on the website, if the time you wanted is full....we do run lessons with one of our other instructors for Fall, Winter, & Spring sessions.... great instructors with the same small class size rule.
Category Descriptions for Registration:
CAT #1A - member who pays at least $419 for membership AND has been enrolled in at least 35 sessions with Laine (she keeps track)
CAT #1B - member who pays at least $419for membership AND have been enrolled at least 20 sessions with Laine
CAT #2A - member pays at least $299 AND has been enrolled in 10 session or more with Laine
CAT #2B - member pays at least $299 AND has been enrolled in 10 sessions or more with Laine*
CAT #3 - member who pays less than $299 AND has been enrolled in less than 10 sessions w/ Laine *
CAT #4 - non-member who has been enrolled with Laine at least 4 sessions*
CAT #5 - non-member who has been enrolled with Laine for 3 sessions or less*
CAT #6 - non-member who has never enrolled with Laine before *
*this does apply to lessons with other instructors at Webb's (i.e. the Tues or Sunday lessons)
If you are a non-member, you may want to think about joining for 2 great reasons:
1. you'll have priority at registration over non-members
2. If you join for a Full or a Pool membership (see our VERY reasonable membership rates here on this website under "MEMBERSHIPS"), you can swim for ONE hour for FREE on FAMILY SWIM nights at Webb's. These are: Fridays 6:30-7:30, Saturdays 5:30-6:30 and Sundays 5:30-6:30. They tend not to be very busy and it's a GREAT time to swim WITH your child(ren). They can bring a friend ($10/child for the friend(s)). But, YOUR child(ren) under age 12 are FREE during this hour to swim. You MUST be in pool area with them. It's a GREAT way to get your kids swimming with you without having to buy a membership for them. Some great rates: for only $34.99/month, YOU can have a 1 year ongoing Pool Membership (OR for $5 more....$39.99/month....you can have a Full Membership). Just think of it: for a little less than $10/week, you get to swim the 3 weekend nights with the kiddos AND YOU get to come in and workout any day and use it all!....only $39.99/mo! (Read details on these membership options under the Membership page of this website). Food for thought :)

As mentioned above, we ALSO offer lessons on Tuesday afternoons between 3 and 5pm &/or Sundays 10-11am with another instructor. At Laine's registration, we will have a staffperson there with the Tuesday &/or Sunday lesson registration. Anyone who does not get in to the "hoped for timeslot" in Laine's lessons, can then register for the 8 week Tuesday or Sunday session. We determine what levels go at what time on Tuesday/Sunday based on need at registration. Sorry no privates on Tuesday/Sundays. These lessons begin a week ++after Laine's as sometimes folks forget to come to register....and we hope to accommodate as many children as we can.
