FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Is there a discount offered to families with multiple children?
A: YES! The cost is $250 for the 1st swimmer, $200 for the 2nd, and $150 for the 3rd.
Q: Is practice mandatory every day?
A: NO! Although we encourage full participation to assist in developing your technique, you can attend practices as little or as much as you'd like! We realize that many families go on summer vacations, and the children have other activities to participate in!
Q: Can we attend both the Morning and Afternoon practices?
A: Unfortunately not. You must attend the session that you registered for. This is because the Summer Splashes program is designed around our GREAT coach to swimmer ratio. If swimmers are allowed to attend any session, we lose that wonderful benefit.
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: If you are a Florida resident, you know that it can be sunny one minute, and raining the next during the summer. Although we experience inconsistent summer showers, we suggest bringing your child to practice regardless! We will NOT get in the pool during thunderstorms, heavy rain, or lightning. Instead we will have fun and beneficial activities for the swimmers to do regardlless of the weather. "Make-up days", however, will not be available.
Q: Where is Frank Brown Park?
A: Frank Brown Park is located on U.S Highway 98 in Panama City Beach. The address of the pool is 16200 Panama City Beach Parkway, Panama City Beach, FL. 32413.
Q: What should I bring to practice?
A: Your swim suit, goggles, and a towel! Both boys and girls swim suits should be form fitting. Goggles are not required, but HIGHLY recommended. All swimming is done with your face in the water...not wearing goggles will be detrimental to your eyes as well as being very distracting when learning the proper technique.
Q: What are the "Fun Meets?"
A: The fun meets are designed to be similar to the swim meets your child would attend if they were currently part of the Panama City Swim Team. These meets provide your child with the experience of competing in a USA swim meet, while in a more laid-back atmosphere. The swimmers will only be competing against other Summer Splashes team mates, as well as swimmers from PCST's novice program. All children competing are beginning level swimmers.
Q: How to I know if my child is ready to participate in a "Fun Meet?"
A: If your child is on the Summer Splashes Swim Team, they are ready to participate in the meet! For all of our "Squirt" and "Ripples" swimmers, we will have coaches IN THE WATER with them during their "races" at the meet.
