Read Meena's email to her friend Carla: “Hi Carla, I'm finally signing the kids up for swimming at Riverside! Since we moved into the neighbourhood last spring, we can pay resident rates. Arjun is seven and passed Level 2 in the summer, but he has hockey every Saturday morning, and I work until five, so I can't get him anywhere before 5:30 on weekdays. Lila just turned four. I'll register them together so we get the discount. By the way, didn't you say Ben wants to become a lifeguard? He's fourteen now, so he'd fit the Friday program, although you'd pay the higher rate since you live in Westdale.” Which class should Meena choose for Arjun?
