Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I really get a complimentary lesson?
    Yes! This free trial lesson is designed to give you a sense of where your child fits in our program. We will assess their current comfort level in the water and swim skills to recommend a class and level.

  • How long are lessons?
    Lessons are weekly for 30 minutes. When you register, you secure your class day and time until your child graduates into the next swim level or you need to make changes to your schedule.

  • What if my child is brand new to the water?
    That's okay! Our free trial lesson will help them get comfortable in our 90-degree pool, and our swim teacher will carefully walk them through different foundational swim instruction to gauge their comfort level with blowing bubbles, getting their eyes wet, or floating on their back with assistance. 

  • Do you offer private lessons?
    Yes, we offer private lessons for students who would benefit from more personalized attention. Our small class sizes make group classes fun and engaging.

  • Do parents get in the water for lessons?
    If your child is under the age of 3 years old, a parent is required to be in the water with them. If your child is over 3, whether they are new to lessons or been swimming since they were an infant, they will transition to our small group class.

  • What age(s) do you teach?
    Our swim lesson program is designed for children 6 months and older. Your child will be placed in the appropriate class based on their age and current swim skills.
