Ripples is our gentle, introductory swim class for infants and toddlers. Parents are in the water with their child, guided by an instructor who helps you build water comfort and early swim skills in a supportive setting. Ripples is session based, offering 5 sessions per year.

Please Note: Saturday lessons are exclusively for Weymouth Club members. Current non-member participants may continue in their Saturday classes, but new Saturday enrollments are limited to members only.

To enroll in a Saturday class, please email ripples@weymouthclub.com (both members and currently enrolled non-members)

Summer Information

Ages & Class Sizes

What are the ages for the Ripples program?

Children 6 months – 2.11 are welcome to register for the Ripples program. Children 3 years to 3 ½ years have the option to either register for the Splash program (a monthly program) or the Ripples program (session based). We made this change due to varying levels of maturity both physically and mentally. This choice gives parents more options, catering to the needs of the individual child.

How many students are there per class?

Maximum number of students is 13. This allows our instructors to dedicate more time to each child, embracing the Weymouth Club mission to deliver a higher quality lesson with a personalized experience for all participants.

Class Registrations, Make ups, & Refunds

Can my child register for more than one class?

Yes, you are more than welcome. The more frequent your child swims/practices, the faster the progression. You may add a second class after the first week of registration. We want to give everyone a chance to register for their favorite class time, then add a second class.

Make-ups & Refunds

We do not offer makes-ups for weather related cancellations, pool closures or absences. Our fee structure reflects this policy. However, we will offer a make-up if the instructor cancels the class for a personal reason.
Once you have signed up for a class no refunds or credits will be offered.

Swim Diapers

All Ripples swimmers are required to wear two layers of protection:
Inner Layer: Disposable Swim Diaper
REQUIRED Outer Layer: the HAPPY KNAPPY Reusable Swim Diaper *****

Purchase a swim diaper

The Happy Knappy diaper will protect the integrity of the pool water by protecting against future “code browns”. The diaper is meant to be a very tight fit around the waist and legs. It should not be roomy – no room for escape.

Club Usage

Members of the Club are welcome to use the facility, however, it is best not to go swimming prior to the start of your class, so your child will get the most out of their class. Currently Family Swim is by reservation only. Reservations are available to book via the Weymouth Club App.
Non-members are allowed one adult and child to be in the water for the duration of your class.

Swim Buddies

Can I be the swim buddy for both my children?

No, there must be a 1:1 ratio of parent to child. If you have twins or more than one child, each child will need a buddy.

Potty Training

If my child is potty trained, are they required to wear two layers?

YES, Club protocol is if a child is three or under, regardless of being potty trained, they must wear two layers and the diaper should not be roomy. The reusable diapers approved by Weymouth Club are the Happy Knappy Swim Diaper and the I-Play Swim Diaper. Adjustable diapers are typically the cause of a “Code Brown” – we are diligent about preventing any from occurring. To accomplish this, everyone needs to cooperate – NO ADJUSTABLE DIAPERS.

Remember: two layers are required, a disposable diaper and the Happy Knappy reusable diaper.

*Beginning Oct 1, if a child has two code green accidents within four months, their participation will be put on hold. If there are any missed classes in the current session, there will be no refund or credit toward future classes.

Health & Safety

Is there a lifeguard on duty during class?
Yes, SAFETY is our #1 PRIORITY. We always have lifeguards on duty while the pool is in use.

What measures have been taken to protect my family during this “new normal” period?
The Club owners have gone to great lengths to ensure we deliver a clean, safe, and sanitized facility. The 2020-2022 safety investment exceeds $450,000 toward this mission.

Is the pool heated?
The water temperature is kept at a wonderfully comfortable 86 degrees.
