Course Dress code

There are many types of swim suit. Some are more suited to lounging than exercising in. Bikini’s, one pieces, trunks, jammers, are all good options but whatever you’re wearing should be secure and not result in a wardrobe malfunction. It’s worth noting that in general, the more fabric you’re wearing the harder it is to swim especially if you’re learning.

Goggles are basically essential, and swim caps are recommended for long hair.

Sunscreen is a good idea; welcome to swimming in Arizona.

Liquids are also a good idea; just because you're in a pool, doesn't mean you're not sweating.

If you forget or refuse to bring your swim suit and have to sit out you will only receive 80% points for the class that day. Don't let it happen to you.

Please note

PAC Statement of Risk and Responsibility

Risk is associated with many of life’s activities including the Physical Activity Courses (PAC). Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (MLFTC) and the Physical Education Program will minimize these risks by providing safe physical activity venues, capable instruction, and appropriate equipment.

It is recommended that you purchase student health/accident insurance policy for yourself. These are available through the University, private carriers, or in many cases, through a family policy. If you choose to be/remain uninsured, relatively minor accidents and/or health problems can lead to great expense.

If you have a condition that might affect your participation in this activity course, please inform your instructor by fully completing the “Personal Health History Form” provided early on in this course syllabus. Should you ever become injured or ill during class, do not leave class without notifying the instructor.

Injuries from participation in this course could occur from irresponsible behavior during class activities. In comparison with other sports and other activities, injuries are relatively uncommon in this particular course. Risk of injury can be minimized with careful attention to class safety procedures, wearing appropriate attire, following instructor directions, and by being aware of one’s surroundings.

Students with disabilities

Arizona State University is committed to providing students with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from its programs, services, and activities. If/When you are registered with Disability Resource Center (DRC) for students please inform the instructor ASAP so accommodations can be made.

Accommodations are made through collaborative efforts between students, faculty and the DRC. Students with accommodations approved through DRC are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DRC should contact the DRC office immediately.

Please confer with me about making arrangements for making up tests/assignments prior to the absence.

Military Personnel Statement

Title lX

Title IX is a federal law that provides that no person be excluded on the basis of sex from participation in, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity.  Both Title IX and university policy make clear that sexual violence and harassment based on sex is prohibited. An individual who believes they have been subjected to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex can seek support, including counseling and academic support, from the university.  If you or someone you know has been harassed on the basis of sex or sexually assaulted, you can find information and resources at https://sexualviolenceprevention.asu.edu/faqs.
