(Please review the required skills and practice these skills as outlined above prior to attending the first class)

**Any course may be combined or cancelled if the initial registration is below 5 persons or if after the pre-course evaluation there are not enough participants to hold the class.  If a course is cancelled, all enrollees will be able to transfer to another class to be held at a later date.

Blended Learning Classes:

These classes allow the student to complete the online material on his/her own time.  However, the online work must be completed prior to coming to the on-site portion of the class.  This means that there are 7.5 hours of online coursework that must be completed 1 business day prior to the on-site session (listed below).  The on-site session begins with the in-water pre-course evaluation.  The student must pass the pre-course evaluation in order to continue with the on-site class.  It is highly recommended for students to begin the blended learning at least a week prior to in-person class.  There is an exam that must be passed.  The exam allows a number of attempts but has a waiting period between attempts if unsuccessful.
