Frequently Asked Questions

What age should I start my child in swim lessons?

You are never too young or old to start swimming! We teach all ages, from infant through adult! With young children, we use playful techniques for water acclimation and safety skills. Each stage of child development requires different techniques and tools.

With our adolescent, teenage, and adult learn-to-swim students, we love teaching about the science of swimming and hydrodynamics. These techniques help engage the swimmer and help them fully understand how their body moves in the water.

How long will it take for my child, or me, to learn to swim?

There is no definite time in which you or your child will learn how to swim. It will depend on the swimmer’s desire, abilities and confidence. Some swimmers take to the water right away and pick up skills very quickly. Others are very hesitant, but with patience will learn the same skills in a slightly longer period of time.

What is an Endless Pool?

An Endless Pool is a small swimming pool with an adjustable current for swimmers to swim against, and is sometimes referred to as a treadmill for swimmers. The adjustable level of difficulty makes an endless pool suitable for people at all levels of swimming abilities.

Our pools are 3.5 to 4 feet deep.

How long is each lesson?

Most private lessons are 30-minutes. Some of our clients choose for a 60-minute lesson if they are competitive swimmers or travel from a distance.

How do you work with people who have special needs?

Every person has unique needs and ways they learn. We use tools such as schedules, props, PECS, and a lot of patience to help swimmers learn through hearing, seeing, and feeling learning styles. Our instructors use different tactics to help swimmers stay on task and focus during their lessons.

How do I register for lessons?

The first step is to complete our information form, providing basic information about the swimmer and dates available for lessons.

Is there a place for changing at the facility

We ask that swimmers arrive for their lessons in their bathing suit. Each indoor pool has a changing area, and we do not have locker rooms or showers.

When will I be able to start my lessons?

We can start your lessons as soon as you and our instructors are available. You work directly with your instructor to customize you scheduled dates and times for swimming. You continue to have your lessons until you decide to stop (there are no limited number of lessons).

Should I stay in the pool area during my child’s lessons?

Yes. We like our parents to see their child’s progress, but we understand some parents may choose not to distract their child during lessons.

Do you teach at home outdoor pools?

We do offer limited home swimming pool lessons. For more information, please contact us at 267-218-3798.

Why do you only teach private lessons?

It’s proven that lower student to teacher ratio is the best situation for learning. With private and semi-private lessons you can move at your own pace and receive individual attention. Each lesson is customized for your learning style, developmental level and specific needs. In addition, our instructor’s love the bonds they create with their swimmers and their families, which help to build trust and comfort in the water.

How do I pay for lessons?

We have our customers pre-purchase a package of four (4) lessons for $240. If siblings are also taking lessons, the sibling rate is $220 for four (4) lessons. We accept:

Are there any specials if I buy multiple lessons at a time?

At this time, we only offer special pricing for siblings ($220 for a package of four (4) lessons).

Can I request a specific instructor?

All of our fabulous instructors have years of experience teaching swim lessons. Yet, we know that swimmers can form bonds with their instructor. We do our best to coordinate your schedule with your preferred instructor.

What happens if I can’t make a scheduled lesson?

Please TEXT your instructor directly if you need to cancel a lesson (unfortunately, our Vagaro system does not allow you to make changes to your lessons). We have a 24-hour cancellation policy – we must receive at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Otherwise, there will be a charge for the full cost of the lesson.
We do our best to reschedule lessons if there is availability, or we can postpone lessons until the following week.

What should I bring with me to my lessons?

Please bring a bathing suit, towel, goggles and swim diaper (if not completely toilet trained). Those wearing swim diapers also need a close-fitting waterproof cover over the diaper. We have extra goggles you can borrow or purchase for $20. If the swimmer has long hair, please pull it back with a hair band.
