How do I know what level is appropriate for my child(ren)?
First, please review the descriptions found HERE to determine which class may be appropriate for your child.
NOTE: We teach to each individual child, not a formatted lesson plan. As a result, class levels are generally combined and there is a blending of levels. Children may be working on different skills within a class. This often allows siblings to potentially remain in the same swim class.
If, after reviewing class descriptions, you still have questions about your child’s appropriate swimming level, please contact us directly.

Do you offer private lessons or only group lessons?
Our instructors offer private, semi-private, and group lessons. Despite what a lot of parents might think, most children do best in our small group lessons than in private lessons.
What is the difference between private and semi-private lessons?
Private lessons are 1:1 student/teacher ratio.
Semi-private lessons are 2:1 student/teacher ratio.
How large are your classes/what is your student/instructor ratio?
Private lessons are 1:1 student/teacher ratio.
Semi-private lessons are 2:1 student/teacher ratio.
Group lessons have a maximum of 4:1 student/teacher ratio for levels 1-4 and 5:1 student/teacher ratio for levels 5 and beyond.
Are your instructors CPR and Red Cross certified, etc?
All lead instructors are trained by Swim Beyond LLC, are certified in Lifeguarding, CPR, and first aid and have a minimum of 3 years of teaching experience. Many of our instructors have additional coaching and teaching certifications.
Can my children (different ages and capabilities) be in the same class?
If your children work well together and are not more than 3 levels apart, we should be able to accommodate them within the same class. We often offer several different levels at the same time or back-to-back so that families with multiple children can more easily find lessons to fit their schedule.
Do you offer any discounts or scholarships?
Financial scholarships are available. For more details, please click HERE.
Other discount codes are sometimes available. If you do not qualify under the guidelines of the Scholarship Application, but need some financial assistance, contact Coach Mandi.
What should we bring to our child’s first class?
A swimsuit, towel, a swim diaper for any child not COMPLETELY potty trained, and goggles.
Swimmers enrolled in lessons during the school year in levels 3 and above will need a pair of swim fins.
Do you have a swim diaper policy?
Anyone not COMPLETELY potty trained must wear a plastic liner and a swim diaper.
Is there a locker room or changing room onsite?
There are locker rooms/ changing facilities at all locations.
What happens if my child is sick or misses a class?
Do not bring your child to lessons if they are sick or if you or your child have been around anyone who has tested positive for Covid 19.
We are unable to offer credits or make up lessons at this time.
Can I request a specific instructor for my child?
We will try to honor specific requests for instructors, but it will depend on instructor availability and your scheduling flexibility.
What Covid19 precautions is Swim Beyond LLC taking?
Masks are encouraged for any parent waiting on deck. There will only be 2-3 instructors offering lessons at any given time. There will only be 1-3 students who are coming together in any class and those individuals must be family members or in social pods outside of the lesson. Any parent wishing to watch from the pool deck will be assigned a table; the assigned tables will be more than 15 feet apart. Cleaning supplies will be provided for wiping down table and chair before/after use. Instructors will clean and sanitize equipment used during the lesson before the next lesson.
Most notably, we have changed the format of our lessons this summer to exponentially decrease the number of students any instructor will interact with on a weekly basis. Instructors will be fully vaccinated by the end of April.
Our instructors will be monitoring the pool chemicals and testing them before each 2 hour block of lessons.
