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. 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 on April 3 @ 7:00am!

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.
SUMMER CLASS OPTIONS
Dart Swim School Summer Options
NEW IN 2024! We are expanding our Dart Swim School programming for the summer, and will offer a full slate of swim lessons for ages 18 months to 10 years. We will offer 3 Swim School sessions:
- Session 1: June 10-July 3, offered on MW or TT (Yellow, Orange, Pink, Red, Blue, Green, and Purple).
- Session 2: July 8-Aug. 1, offered MW or TT (Yellow, Orange, Pink, Red, Blue, Green, and Purple)
- Session 3: Aug. 6-15, offered TWTH (Pink, Red, Blue, Purple, Pre Team)
Our former Minidart program for swimmers who are not ready or age-eligible for Summerdarts will now be offered through Dart Swim School for the summer. Instead of Minidarts, swimmers will be eligible for Green or Purple based on their skill/age level. Green and Purple are offered in the shallow pool. Skill levels are noted in colored charts below. Stronger swimmers age 6 and up who are currently in Swim School in Purple and Pre-Team should register for Summerdarts. Pre Team swimmers will either be in the shallow pool or in the deep pool, depending on age and skills.
Summerdart and Teendart Options
NEW: Summerdarts and Teendarts have a choice of a full 8-week session (June 10-July 31) OR 2x4 week sessions (June 10-July 3 and July 8-July 31). These programs for swimmers ages 6-teens from June 10-August 3. We are not able to accept further requests for switches from 8 to 4 weeks.
- Summerdart swimmers must be age six (by 6/1/24) through 12 who meet minimum swim skills.
- Teendarts is for swimmers entering 7th through 10th grade. The focus for both groups is fitness and fun as well as teaching and improving stroke technique. Swimmers should be able to comfortably swim 25 yards of freestyle and backstroke comfortably to join this group.
Summerdart and Teendart practices emphasize the introduction and improvement of stroke skills, water fitness, water games, and introduction to competition in a fun atmosphere. Practices are geared for swimmers of all ability levels, from novice to experienced. Practices are offered five days per week with no mandatory attendance requirements. Swimmers may attend 3 practices per week, selecting any 2 days Monday through Thursday (you can pick the days, they may vary by week, and you do not need to let us know of the chosen days). The third practice each week should be Friday. Swimmers must meet minimum skills levels (listed below). Swimmers not meeting skill levels may fit best in Dart Swim School.
Swimmers signing up for Summerdarts must meet minimum swim skills. To assess skills, we will do Swim Evaluations of all swimmers new to our program ages 12 and under, and to all returning swimmers ages 10 and under. These will be at Community Pool on May 11 and 18. Returning swimmers age 11 and up and Teendarts do not need to do evaluations but should be able to swim 25 yards of kick, freestyle and backstroke comfortably.
Who needs evaluations?
- All new swimmers ages 12 and under, excluding Teendarts.
- All returning swimmers ages 10 and under.
- Exceptions: The following swimmers DO NOT NEED evaluations: swimmers enrolled in 2024 Springdarts or Dart Swim School as we can assess their swim level at their spring sessions.
At Summerdart evaluations, swimmers must demonstrate the following skills to be eligible for Summerdarts:
· Kicking with board (20 yards unaided)
· Freestyle (ability to swim 20 yards, with breathing, unaided)
· Backstroke (ability to swim 20 yards, unaided)
· Bobs (rhythmic breathing)
· Comfort of swimming in all areas/depths of water
Swimmers age 7 and under who do not meet these levels can move to Dart Swim School classes that best fit their skill levels:
