Tuition & Cancellation Policies

Session Tuition Payment: Full payment for each lesson session will be charged following online registration (within 1-3 business days).

First Day & Daily Lessons Procedures

Please arrive 20 minutes early to check in and meet your assigned instructor. Arrive early enough each day to use the restroom and apply sunscreen and be ready to start on time. Due to small changing areas & Covid-19 restrictions, we encourage you to dress for lessons prior to arriving at the pool when possible.

What to Expect

The main emphasis of our lesson sessions will be centered on areas in most need of development, from water confidence and basic skills to advanced stroke technique and skill development.

How can I help prepare my child for their lessons?

Many children can be anxious on the first day of lessons, before coming to the pool or when they realize they will be separated from their parents. Please know we are prepared to lovingly encourage your child and help them get over their fears and to learn to love the water and swimming.

Why a Closed Deck Policy?

Often times a child will direct their attention to a parent in sight instead of to the instructor. Our goal is for the swimmers to focus all their attention on the instructor during their lesson time.

Important Policies & Procedures

Rain Policy: Lessons are held in our indoor pool and classes will not be canceled unless there is extreme weather. In the event that swimmers cannot enter the pool and we must postpone class 15-20 min, teaching time will be added to the following classes as needed for make up.
