What should my child wear?+
Comfortable swimwear with long hair pulled back and out of their eyes. If your child is not potty trained or sometimes has accidents, please put on a swim diaper.
Can I stay and watch my child's lesson?+
While we allow observing lessons, we ask that you do so from a distance. Kids tend to do better when parents are out of sight and they can focus solely on the teacher.
Is it normal for my child to cry during lessons?+
Crying is normal at the beginning of lessons for younger swimmers. It may be best to observe the class from a point out of sight. It may be difficult at first, but they will soon adjust once your child gets more comfortable in the water and with their instructor.
How do I pay for lessons?+
Payments are due at the end of each week of lessons. They can be made via Zelle or Square.
Can my child have a meal before lessons?+
To avoid an upset stomach, have your child eat their last meal 90 minutes before lessons.
How old does my child have to be to take lessons?+
6 months
