WHO WATCHES THE CHILDREN IN MY SWIM FRIENDS?

Certified lifeguards and trained buddies.

 

IS MY SWIM FRIENDS FREE?

Yes, the program is entirely free. Enrollment is limited so sign up early!

​

HOW IS MY SWIM FRIENDS FUNDED?

MSF is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit and owes its success to the dedicated volunteers, as well as the generous donations made by the Manalapan Police Benevolent Association, Certifications for Life Inc, as well as catering from Dusal's Pizzeria Restaurant. 100 percent of the donations go directly to the Swim Friends Program and services to benefit the children in the program. My Swim Friends is entirely free for every family and has grown quickly since its establishment in 2015 from 20 participants to over 300. All generosity is much appreciated.

 

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILDREN BRING TO MY SWIM FRIENDS?

A towel, a bathing suit (either on already or to be changed into) and clothes to wear after swimming. Drinks and food will be available the whole time for everyone. 

 

WHAT IF I SIGNED UP MY CHILD FOR A WEEKEND OF MY SWIM FRIENDS BUT FOR SOME REASON HE/SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT?

E-mail Ellie at SwimEllieG@aol.com or text 732-598-7909 for any cancellations. Your child is not required to come every weekend you signed him/her up for but if you know in advance he/she will not be attending, please let us know so we can offer the day to a child on the waitlist.

 

CAN I SIGN UP FOR MORE WEEKENDS OF MY SWIM FRIENDS LATER ON?

Due to the advanced planning needed, it will not be possible to sign up for additional weekends once the program begins, so please select the one weekend your child will want to attend via online registration and note if you would like to join the waitlist for the unselected date, and we will contact you at a later date if space opens up.

 

DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM TO BE A PART OF MY SWIM FRIENDS?

If your child cannot swim, make sure he/she comes with inflatable swimmies or a lifejacket to be worn the whole time. Siblings must know how to swim.
