Questions families ask

At a placement visit, a short time in the water with an instructor. The instructor suggests a level and a cap color, and you pick a class from the schedule.

A level is a group of skills, from blowing bubbles to the four strokes, with a cap color so everyone at the pool can see where a class is. Ages are a guide, and the instructor decides when a swimmer moves up.

Water comfort and Floating classes last half an hour. The other four levels last forty-five minutes. A session runs eight weeks.

A towel, goggles if your swimmer likes them, and a swimsuit or swim shirt. We ask every swimmer to wear a cap in their level's color.

A swimsuit, or a swim shirt over one. Swim shirts are welcome in every class. Please tie long hair back.

From the bench behind the glass wall in the lobby, or from the deck by the steps. A parent or guardian stays on site during every class.

An instructor, in the water or on the step beside every swimmer. The board on our safety page shows how many swimmers each instructor has in each level. Lessons are no substitute for adult supervision.

You can make it up in another class of the same level within the session, space allowing. Tell us as early as you can.

We text families, and the class is made up in the same session.

It depends on the level, the class length and the classes a week. Our figures are on the enrollment page, and the page on how tuition works explains each part.
