FAQs
Do you offer private swim lessons?
Yes! Private lessons are available for swimmers who would benefit from one-on-one instruction or who prefer a more personalized learning experience. Private lessons can help accelerate progress, build confidence, and focus on specific goals or skills. Classes are available on our customer portal.

What should my child bring to swim lessons?
Please bring a swimsuit, towel, and a positive attitude! We recommend arriving a few minutes early to give your child time to get settled before class begins.
Infants and toddlers who are not yet potty trained must wear a disposable swim diaper with a reusable swim diaper overtop to help prevent pool foulings.
We introduce goggles once swimmers are very comfortable putting their face in the water without them. This helps build confidence and prepares them to stay calm if they unexpectedly enter the water without goggles.
How long are swim lessons?
Lessons are 30 minutes in length, providing the perfect balance of focused instruction, skill development, and fun. Class lengths may vary depending on the swimmer's age, level, and program selection.
What age groups do you accept?
We welcome swimmers of all ages, from infants as young as 4 months through teens and adults. Whether your child is just becoming comfortable in the water or is ready to refine advanced swimming skills, we have a class designed to meet them at their current level and help them progress with confidence.
