Frequently Asked Questions

1. When do I register my child for group swim lessons?

Registration occurs before the first day of the session (Monday). Please register in advance so your child is placed in the appropriate group. 


2. Will my child be swimming by the end of the session?

It depends on each child's needs, experiences, and age. If a student already has the basics (comfortable putting their head underwater) then our goal would be to have the child leave the session with the skills needed for basic swimming. If your child is a little timid in the water, it may take more time. With younger children, we focus our energy on water safety skills such as floating, properly entering and exiting the pool, and water comfortably.


3. What do I need to bring on the first day of lessons?


4. What is a good age to start enrolling my child in swim lessons?

Typically, kids begin swim lessons between ages 3 and 4. With that said, if you have a child that is younger than 3 and is comfortable in the water, then we recommend starting them sooner. We try to encourage parents to start their children in lessons when they are comfortable putting their heads underwater. For some children, this occurs as early as 2 years of age.


5. How do I schedule private lessons?
