Registration

Important Guidelines for Registration:

No need to call before registering if:

1. Child is in Levels 1-5
2. Adult is afraid of the water, or can’t swim, or can swim a little, but needs technique work.

Please call Marilyn at 617-777-3556, as we must have appropriate instructors available if:

1. Child is in Level 6
2. Adult has a strong swimming background (adults registered with US Masters Swimming can enroll)
3. Special needs children
4. Elderly swimmers (the pool has no gradual stairs, so it’s difficult to climb in and out)

Charles River Aquatics will NOT offer Private Series to:

1. Children under the age of four
2. Any child who is a registered member of another USA Swimming sanctioned club team (to avoid a conflict of interest)

There are two methods to register: On-Line and Mail.

To register on-line, click the button below and follow the instructions on the Thriva site.

A few words of explanation about the on-line registration process.

1. The first screen will give you the half-hour time slots we offer. If you wish to register for a 1 hour session, click the two consecutive half hour options (for example: 12:15 and 12:50; or 12:50 and 1:25)
2. The second screen asks you if you want a private or semi-private lessson. This screen also provides the 1/2 hour cost of the lessons. Click the appropriate button and continue. If you are registering for a Semi-private lesson, please make sure you include the second swimmer's name on the same form as the first swimmer. Do not register the second swimmer separately, or you will be billed twice.
3. If you are registering for an hour lesson, the system will calculate in a $25 discount before you go to the billing step.
