A Guide for Anahita’s Little Swimmer
Dear baby,
We are extremely happy that your parents have chosen Anahita, a place where you begin with swimming introduction.
We believe you are looking forward to it as water is your natural habitat and familiar environment. It is similar to your mom´s tummy you spent 9 months in.
The water in Anahita is specially treated for infants: salty with temperature of 31°C.
What swimming equipment do you need?
Textile swimsuit, that fits tight around your waist and legs. No additional diaper is needed. Adult swimmer (parent, grandparent, guardian) needs swimsuit, swimming cap, swimming goggles, (can be bought at Anahita Maternity Centre reception), shower flip-flops, towel, and shower gel.
During the lesson
Parents and children enjoy swimming in Anahita together. Duration of each class is 30 min. There is maximum 6 / 8 children with parents in the pool. The instructor runs the lesson and is present all the time.
The EF acronym written next to some of the lessons stands for English Friendly. Those lessons are run in Czech however, the instructor can communicate in English as well.
We have an important note for you
A Good swimmer does not eat at least 60 min before the class starts (there is a danger of vomiting that can pollute/contaminate the pool). Come on time for swimming class, i.e. at least 15 min in advance.
Calmness and well-being before swimming contributes to good spirit in the pool.
Always eat well after swimming class and enjoy the time in playroom. Acclimatisation above all in winter season is very important.
You can spend approx. 20 min before your class starts in the playroom. When your class is over you can stay 45 min in the playroom. It is important to stick to the above mentioned timing due to your comfort and the comfort of others who are coming for following lessons.
And what to do if you cannot attend a lesson?
Don’t worry, you won’t miss your lesson if you excuse your absence on time.
In order to be able to excuse your lessons, you need to use the “Webooker” excuse and replacement system. To log into this system, use https://anahita.webooker.eu, enter your email and password.
If you don’t have a password yet, select “forgot password” when you log in. We will then send you an authorisation code to your email, which you can use to set your password. The code is only valid for 10 minutes. You can also log in via www.anahita.cz – Absences and replacements.
In case of illness, a lesson can be properly excused (with a refund) until 10 pm the previous day.
Every properly excused lesson can be compensated in current course. When ill for a longer time and you are not able to replace all the lessons within the current course although trying hard, don´t be sad!
If your parents/guardians register you to a following course, the system will automatically transfer all your properly excused lessons. You can compensate within period of first 12 weeks from the beginning of the course. If the lesson you want to register to is full, you can apply for “waiting list“. When applying for red coloured lesson (full lesson) you will see your position on waiting list. When other little swimmers excuse themselves from the class, the system will send text message and email to your parents/guardians that you can come for the lesson.
It is important for your instructor to know whether you will be able to attend the lesson. Therefore, do not hesitate to excuse yourself whenever you know you cannot come, even if it is after the regular excuse time.
Each swimmer will receive a pass – a swim pass – at the reception when they arrive for their 1st lesson. Your guardian will continue to show this pass each time you arrive for a lesson or a replacement.
Taking photos and visits
Anahita organises photographing under water during the year. It is beautiful memory of your swimming beginning. Your parents will be informed about the event in advance by email. It is possible that your other parent or your visitor takes a picture of you in the pool, but it is necessary to discuss it with the instructor and other parents if they don´t mind. Recording videos during lessons is not allowed.
Every visitor must let the reception know they are here to visit and must change to clean clothes which is suitable for staying by the pool. (T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops).
