MLAC puts the safety of its swimmers first and values quality instruction with low teacher-to-swimmer ratios, especially for those just getting acclimated to the water. Class sizes are therefore kept small for safety and to create the best learning environment for young and beginning swimmers. If a session is full at the time of registration, please put your swimmer's name on the waitlist. We monitor the waitlist frequently and try to place children in a session as soon as space becomes available. If you have a question about the waitlist, please reach out to Coach Leslie Becki ([email protected]) for an update.
