Program Registration Program registration data provides a glimpse into programs for which there is a high demand and programs that are less popular or have more enrollment variability. In some cases, enrollment may be linked to the times the classes are offered or the frequency with which they’re offered or the seasonality of the program. In other cases, the registration data points to trends in the types of programming that is popular and potential opportunities to expand certain types of program offerings. Registration rates are from the Winter/Spring (W/S) and Summer/Fall (S/F) 2015 Registration Reports.  Youth swim lessons are popular throughout the year, although many fewer classes are offered in the Winter/Spring (111 classes) compared to the Summer/Fall (347 classes). About 20% of youth swim classes have enrollment rates below 50% (24% below in the W/S and 23% in the S/F). (Adult swim conditioning and intro to lap swim group classes are less popular, with an average of 8% enrollment in the W/S 2015 and 9% in S/F.
