Ensure to add your child to the account - Enroll the child in lessons by selecting their name during enrollment, make sure to deselect yourself.
During enrollment, you will select two time preferences and the child's level - We build the lessons based off of pre-registration requests to tailor our offerings to the needs of our customers and easier placement of siblings at the same time when possible..
You don't need to wait for the report card to sign up for the next session. Select 'currently enrolled' as your child's level and they will be placed based on their report card.
Confirmation: Emails with the specific time of the lesson and the instructor will be sent out the Wednesday before the session starts for MW, TTh, and Sat classes. Confirmation emails will be sent out the Friday before the session starts for One Week and Two Week sessions during the summer.
If you haven't received an email by Thursday morning, please contact the Front Desk - We will need to confirm the email address on the child's profile is correct.
Please note: Both time preferences selected during enrollment will be taken into consideration while building classes. We cannot guarantee assignment at your first time preference.
Once pre-registration capacity fills up, we open waitlist enrollment for each session - You will request two time preferences and the child's level, just as you do during regular enrollment.
When the Aquatics Coordinator builds the class lists from pre-registration requests, there are often a few spots available - We match the open spaces with the time and levels requested during waitlist enrollment. Samena Members will be called first, then Non-Members in order of registration to the best of our ability.
We will start making calls for the waitlist typically the Wednesday evening before the session begins - Unfortunately, due to the size of the waitlists, we are only able to call the swimmers who can be offered a space.
If you are called for a waitlist spot, you will have 2 days to return our call and confirm that you will enroll - If we do not hear back from you, or you do not come in to enroll by the agreed upon date, we will unfortunately have to move down the waitlist and call another swimmer.
Once the class lists are released, you can also call the Front Desk for availability - There are sometimes spaces available that didn't match anyone's requests from the waitlist and may be open for enrollment to anyone.

Fees: $25 cancel fee for Samena Club credits, 50% fee for refunds
No credit or refund will be issued if cancelling less than 7 days before the session starts
