FAQs

  • What swimming gear does my child need?

    Please send kids in appropriate swimwear, goggles, towel.  They should be dressed and ready. 


    Please don't bring puddle jumpers, floaties, full face masks, or toys that will distract them. 

  • How do I determine what level my child is?

     


    If you child is 6-months to 3-year olds refer to Parent and Child lessons.


    If your child is ages 4 to 5-years old, refer to Preschool Aquatics.


    If your child is over the age of six, refer to Learn To Swim 6+.


    I work through the skill progression of a Learn-to-Swim program based on ability level. Small group classes with a 2:1 ratio will ensure students grow in their skills.


    Private and semi-private lessons cater to a child's individual needs to see growth as a swimmer. I can discuss goals with parents and align the lesson plans to achieve results.

  • Should I stay or should I go?

    I like parents to stay and listen to what I am teaching, be reinforcement/backbone, and always great to have extra eye! This way if there is a bathroom situation, you can take them and you can hear and see what I am teaching to work with your child during your practice time.

  • When is tuition due?

    In order to get on the books the first week of priviate lessons or all weeks of group lessons need to be paid in full. Payment means you agree there are no refunds, makeups, or transfers unless it is weather related on Coach's call.

  • What about weather?

    We will never swim when lightning or thunder are present at location. Light rain is fine, we are wet anyway!

  • What if I have to miss a lesson?

    There are no refunds or make-ups unless it is weather or instructor related on Coach’s call.

  • How long will it take for my child to learn to swim?

    There are many variables, but the most important one is practicing what they learn. Its hard to put a timeframe on a kid's progression. It has to do with fine motor skills, attention span, listening, fear, frequency, and the ability to put it all together. Your child will advance faster if you practice with them.


    According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, most children age four and older can learn to swim. Children ages one to four might be able to learn depending on their physical and emotional development

  • Is there a restroom available?

    Always use the bathroom just before you come to lessons. It can be used as an excuse to get out & I will call their bluff, knowing they just went. If it is truly needed, there are facilities available to use.
