wendygrace Posted November 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was just looking at preregistration forms and noticed that it had a question of "Permission to Swim?" and you check yes or no. Ours was already listed as "No" and we can't change it for some reason. Do they take the kids swimming? We're traveling on Valor if that makes a difference.

fun!melis Posted November 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Had this also when I did my pre registration....... Not sure and waiting as well.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsfan Posted November 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2011 saw this on ours as well, seems like it defaults to no...my guess is you can tell the Camp Staff when you register on the ship that they can swim.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted November 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2011 what age group are you asking. I do not think that the camp takes the little ones 2-5 or 6-8 swimming. I have read that the 9-11 do go swimming but have NEVER seen it on a camp page. I would think its a safety issue regarding taking the kids swimming. (on the pride- each camp had one counselor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr8z Posted November 8, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2011 If your kids are under 9 then CC staff cannot and will not take them swimming. I give permission for our older kid, but he has yet to go swimming with camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykiddiewinks Posted November 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2011 One evening they have a swim/pizza party for the slightly older kids (mine were 10 and 11 when they did this). We made this our night to go to the steakhouse and have a grown up evening :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendygrace Posted November 9, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How interesting that it's on there but that it seems to rarely happen. You'd think they'd just get permission when you sign up for the special party or whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prattmom Posted November 9, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My 11 year old did the swim/pizza evening one night last June. She had a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamson_ja Posted November 9, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Very interesting that this post showed up today. I just filled out my preregistration for camp today for my kids. It asked me this question for all of my kids. This is our first Carnival cruise and I found the question interesting. I had no idea that swimming with camp was an option. FYI- it let me click "yes" for my 6 yr old daughter. Ours specifically said for ages 6 and up. We are sailing on the Liberty. Not sure if the ship makes a difference. I'm not sure I'd want to take a bunch of 6 yr olds swimming without their parents. :eek: My dd happens to be a pretty good swimmer. Her dad used to be a lifeguard and has been teaching her to swim since she was really little. There are a lot of 6 yr olds that are pretty helpless in the water though. Interesting. I'm curious now to see if they actually ever swim. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted November 9, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I would imagine that due to safety issues, this defaults to no until parents say yes in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banks822 Posted November 9, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2011 In March I also preregistered my 4 children for CC. I could give permission for my 3 older children, 9,9, and 10. My youngest child was 8 and he was to young. They never actually got to swim though :( It was Spring break for most colleges and the pool was full of VERY intoxicated college kids. We took them to the water slide one afternoon though on a port day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
