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.

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.

Anyone not COMPLETELY potty trained must wear a plastic liner and a swim diaper.
