★★★★★

"My daughter was terrified of water. After just four private lessons she was jumping in on her own and asking to come back every week."

Sarah M. Mom of a 5-year-old

★★★★★

FAQ

Questions? We Have Answers.

We welcome children as young as 16 months. Our youngest swimmers begin with infant survival skills — learning what to do if they ever end up in water unexpectedly. Early water exposure builds confidence and safety awareness that lasts a lifetime.

Each lesson is 45 minutes of focused, one on one instruction tailored to your child's skill level and goals. We start with a quick check in, then move through skill building exercises at a pace that feels comfortable and fun.

Fear is completely normal and something we are very experienced with. We never force a child to do anything they are not ready for. We use games, patience, and a step-by-step approach to build comfort. Most fearful swimmers show significant progress within a few lessons.

We recommend at least one lesson per week for consistent progress. Children who attend twice a week often reach their goals faster. Consistency is the single biggest factor in swimming improvement.

The Platinum Award recognizes outstanding quality and results in aquatic instruction. We received it in 2023, 2024, and 2025 because of our commitment to personalized instruction, safety-first curriculum, and the measurable progress our students make. Our families are the reason we keep earning it.

Private lessons are $25 per session. We believe top-quality swim instruction should be accessible to every family in our community.

You may cancel at any time, however no refunds are given on cancelled classes. Rescheduling requires a minimum of 24 hours notice — no exceptions.

Yes — we teach in the rain! The pool is heated and kept at a very comfortable temperature year-round. Classes are only cancelled if there is lightning within a 10-mile radius of the facility, as determined by the app used by all swimming facilities in the area.

If a class is cancelled, notification will be posted on our Band Communication Form

The no-refund policy applies to no-shows and missed classes during an active session.

Students that show up 15 minutes or more late to class unfortunately will not be able to attend that session due to pre-structured class lesson plans and disruption of class already in progress. No reschedule/refunds will be applied for late arrivals. Thank you for your understanding.
