CSA FAQs: Using Filters to Optimize Your Registration
One thing we pride ourselves on at Carmel Swim Academy is providing a large selection of swim lesson class options for your family. While this is ultimately excellent in providing flexible choices that align with your individual scheduling needs, it can mean that there is an overwhelming amount of classes you see when you try to sign up! We want to help make this easier for you by ensuring you know how to use one of our most valuable registration site features: FILTERS. Read on to see the different ways you can layer filters to find the perfect class for your swimmers.
CSA Skill Highlight: Back Float/Glide/Kick Progression
Carmel Swim Academy’s proprietary swim lesson curriculum focuses on water safety through the four swimming strokes. In addition to giving you confidence that your swimmer is learning proper technique, they are also learning the proper names for the skills they’re learning: this empowers you to fully know what your swimmer is capable of. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the building blocks of backstroke – floating, gliding, kicking, and how it progresses through our curriculum for our three and four-year-old swimmers.

CSA FAQs: What happens if we need to miss a class?
Carmel Swim Academy works hard to ensure our programming aligns with your family’s busy schedule. That’s one reason why we do session-based enrollment, offer classes throughout the day, and offer once-a-week or daily options. But what happens if you need to miss a class due to travel, illness, or another obligation? CSA’s makeup policy brings flexibility and control to each of our swim lesson families. Read on to learn more about the framework of our makeup policy and how to utilize makeup tokens.
