Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a free trial?
No, we do not offer free trials. However, we do offer single-day enrollments so your child can try a swim lesson before committing to a program.
What do I need to bring to my lesson?
Please bring a swimsuit, towel, goggles, and a swim diaper if needed.
Can I speak with the swim instructors about my child’s progress?
Yes. At the end of each month, we host a "Show & Tell" event where parents are invited into the pool area to watch their swimmers demonstrate newly learned skills. This is also a great opportunity to speak with instructors about your child’s progress.
How will I know how my child is progressing in swim lessons?
You will have access to an app where instructors document your child’s progress after each lesson.
Do you have a make-up policy?
Yes. We offer one make-up lesson per month when a scheduled lesson is canceled in advance. Make-up lessons must be completed within two weeks of the missed lesson and are scheduled based on availability.
How much notice is required to cancel enrollment?
We require a 30-day notice to cancel a continuous enrollment.
What should I expect during my first lesson?
Please arrive 10 minutes before your first lesson so we can provide a tour of our facility. Our three warm-water pools are above-ground and feature video technology and endless-current systems designed to support effective swim instruction.
Will my child be able to learn to swim the length of a pool in the above-ground tanks?
Absolutely. Our focus is on building strong foundational swimming skills and proper stroke technique, which prepares swimmers to confidently swim in any pool environment.
Where can I watch my child’s swim lesson?
You can watch your child’s lesson through the viewing windows in our waiting room or on the TV monitors located in the lobby.
