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. For availability of all three types of lessons, please visit our registration website or email Coach Mandi. Specialty classes are available upon request.
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 are 4:1 student/teacher ratio for levels 1-4 and are 5:1 student/teacher ratio for levels 5 and beyond.
Are your instructors CPR and Red Cross certified, etc?
All lead instructors are certified in CPR and first aid and have a minimum of 3 years teaching experience. Most are also lifeguard certified and have additional coaching 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?
Any child 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?
If you know in advance that your child will be missing a class for any reason, let us know before you register and we will prorate the class (up to 1 lesson each month or 2 lessons if your child is enrolled in 8 classes or more). If your child must miss a class for any reason, as long as you let us know in advance, you may make it up in a class that has openings or in the following session (up to 1 lesson each month or 2 lessons if your child is enrolled in 8 classes or more). While we do not require 24 hours advance notice, please let us know as soon as you possibly can. That way, another child may be able to get in a make-up class.
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.
