DART SWIM SCHOOL  Davis Location

Dart Swim School FALL 2024 Registration will open at 7:00 am on Tuesday, July 23. All lessons are held at Community Pool in Davis, CA.  

FALL REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

If you have been in Dart Swim School (DSS) for spring or summer, or in Summerdarts 2024, you already have a portal and this same portal can be used for Fall registration.

If you are new to DSS and Darts, you must set up a portal to register through a system called CAPTYN. Click here for a PDF which includes instructions on how to set up your account, search for classes, and register for classes. We are offering many classes this fall and CAPTYN can assist you with filtering and searching for classes.

PLEASE NOTE: if a class is full, we recommend you register for the waitlist. We add more classes from waitlists after registration fills. We will notify you if you receive a spot from the waitlist. You have 24 hours to accept the spot; after that time it will be offered to the next swimmer on the waitlist. You are not billed for waitlisted classes until you are offered and accept a spot.

 

  • To find and/or set up your portal go to:  https://dartswimming.captyn.com/login.  
  • To find classes, follow these prompts:
    1. Browse and register
    2. All department
    3. Summerdarts
    4. All tag
    5. All days of the week

A few important payment changes with CAPTYN:

  • You will pay for your classes at checkout via credit card so only sign your child(dren) up for one class per session as you will be billed for all classes you register for.
  • Third Child Discount: If you have 3 or more children enrolled in one of our DART programs you will pay the full cost of programming at checkout. We will then reimburse your account the discount after you complete registration. Email [email protected] if you have 3 or more children enrolled in DART programs to receive the discount. 
  • Payment Plans: If you need a payment plan, you must email [email protected] before registration opens.

Groups: Please consult the chart at the bottom for the best fit for your child(ren). It is important to match BOTH age and skills. Returning swimmers can check their report cards for suggested placement. We suggest signing up for the same level for all sessions you are registering for. Most children stay in the same class/color for 2-4 sessions. If your child progresses to the next level prior to a new session, we can move them. If you are unsure of which level, email Carolee at [email protected].  Swimmers may only swim in one class per session (MW or TT).

Fee Info:

  • Yellow, Orange, Pink, Red, Blue, Green and Purple are $205 per session. Pre-Team is $215 per session. Once you have registered, no refunds will be made without a medical excuse, a doctor’s note and the coach’s permission. There is a non-refundable fee of $50.00 per swimmer should a refund be granted.  Enrollment is nontransferable and cannot be prorated based on vacations or partial attendance.  Refunds are not granted for swimmers not receiving desired swim practice time. We do not offer makeup sessions for illness or vacation. We do try to offer makeup sessions if possible due to cancelations for weather or pool issues but these are not guaranteed. 
  • Families enrolling three or more swimmers in any Dart programming from the same household qualify for a third swimmer discount (the first two swimmers pay full fees and all other siblings pay half fee).  Third child discount is applied to the lowest registration fee. You MUST contact [email protected] prior to registering to receive a discount code for your third+ child or you will be charged in full at registration.
