Tiger Swim 101

Once you’re registered for a Tiger Swim session, the following information will help you navigate campus and the Mizzou Aquatic Center.

Parking

Parking fees are assessed for all visitors wishing to park on campus between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday–Friday. Parking for our Tiger Swim program is located in hourly metered parking outside of the Virginia Avenue Parking Structure. The Virginia Avenue garage is located adjacent to the MU Student Recreation Complex off of Hitt Street. Parking is enforced 24 hours a day including disabled spaces, yellow curbs, fire lanes, loading zones, and reserved spaces including when classes are not in session.

MizzouRec will not be held responsible for parking violations received by private swim lesson participants. For additional information, please visit the University of Missouri Parking & Transportation Services website.

Arrival and Check-In

Enter the facility through the main entrance (located across from the Virginia Avenue Parking Garage). Upon entering the facility, immediately turn left and then proceed through the four Mizzou Aquatic Center mezzanine doors. Please do not attempt to enter the building through the Membership Desk.

As part of a new safety initiative, we are requiring all Tiger Swim participants, guardians, and guests to check in at our Tiger Swim kiosk located in the Mizzou Aquatic Center mezzanine with a valid photo ID.

A guardian must be present when checking-in your child at the Tiger Swim kiosk (*drop off without parent supervision is not permitted). Additionally, a parent/guardian must supervise his/her child during the entire lesson for safety purposes. If a parent or guardian is not present on deck during the participant’s class, he/she will not be allowed to continue with the lesson.

This process only takes a few minutes per group. Swim lessons check in will begin 20 min before the start of each class time. After all participants, guardians, and guests are checked in by our Tiger Swim staff, they may proceed to the 50M or Tiger Grotto pool deck.

Parent/Guardian Supervision

A parent/guardian must supervise his/her child during the entire lesson for safety purposes. If a parent or guardian is not present on deck during the participant’s class, he/she will not be allowed to continue with the lesson.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

No-charge cancellation for your registration is available up to 3 days prior to the start date of the class. Enrollments cancelled fewer than three days prior to the start date will be charged a 10% administrative fee. Enrollments canceled the day of or after the start date will be charged a 20% administrative fee. If your child is removed for behavioral issues, you will be charged 20% of the remaining class value.
