- FAQ’s
- Q: How can I sign up during resident sign-ups and receive resident pricing?
- A: To sign up during the resident time and receive resident pricing the child that is enrolling in lessons must be a resident of Fircrest.
- Q: What can I use to show proof of residency?
- A: Any form of ID that has your current Fircrest address on it or any piece of mail that has your address on it will work.
- Q: If I operate a daycare in Fircrest, am I allowed to register my daycare participants at the same time?
- A: Yes, you may, but you must provide proof of residency for the residents, and pay the rate difference if the children are non-residents.
- Q: What is Early Bird Sign Up?
- A: Those currently enrolled in swim lessons are able to sign-up for the following session on the Thursday morning of sign up day.The purpose of early bird sign up is to give those people who wish to keep their specific time slot the ability to do so. During early bird sign-ups, you may only participate during your current time timeslot. (example: if you have lessons at 10 am you must show up at that time or later to sign up. You may not show up at 9 am if you are currently enrolled in lessons at 10 am)
- Q: Do I have to keep the same time slot if I want to participate in Early Bird Sign-Ups?
- A: If you choose to participate in Early Bird Sign-Ups you may sign up for your current time or an earlier time slot if available. You may not sign up for a later time slot, as it is our goal to give EVERYONE the opportunity to keep his or her current time slot.
- Q: What if I am currently enrolled at 9:00 am, but I want to sign up for 11:30 am lessons?
- A: If you are not keeping your current time slot and choose to move to a later timeslot, you must show up to the swim lesson sign-ups that evening. Residents can sign up between 6:30-8:30 and Nonresidents between 7:30-8:30
