We recommend at least one lesson per week for steady progress. Many parents start with a set of 10 lessons and continue based on their child’s confidence and improvement.
• 1 hour: (for older students, advanced swimmers, or those wanting a longer session)
• 30 minutes: (most common for young children under 3)
• Swimsuit
• Towel
• Swim goggles (optional but recommended)
• Swim diaper (for children under 3)
• Water bottle for replenishment
• A positive attitude! 🚀
It's perfectly normal for children to be afraid of the water. We use gentle, confidence-building techniques to help nervous swimmers feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. Our lessons emphasize fun, encouragement, and gradual progress.
Yes! We offer semi-private lessons (1:2 or 1:3) where siblings or friends of similar skill levels can learn together and enjoy the benefit of group lessons!
We understand that life happens! We offer one make-up lesson per session package per month, but we kindly ask for at least 24-hour notice for cancellations whenever possible.
Anything that is less than 2 hours notice may be subject to a small cancellation fee to recoup any losses experienced by the instructor and his/her time.
