Our class sizes are developed with a small swimmer-to-teacher ratio, depending on the curriculum level, to provide fun, social lessons plus individualized attention. If you would prefer private lessons, availability and price per lesson varies by location, so please contact us to learn more.
We bill on the first of every month for the number of scheduled weekly lessons that are to be held in that month. Depending on the length of the month, there will typically be 4-5 lessons. We do require that a credit or debit card be on file for payment.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, and goggles. We also recommend swim caps for swimmers with longer hair to keep hair out of eyes and prevent tangles. Swim caps can also help keep goggles on, and make for a less stressful swim environment.
When you arrive, our staff will tell you where to check in and wait. Your instructor builds the lesson around your current swimming skills and goals, and you set the pace. Contact your location if you would like details before your first class.
There’s no set number of lessons. The time it takes depends on each swimmer’s starting point, goals, and practice. Everyone starts somewhere different. Your instructor will lead you through our curriculum at your pace and comfort level, helping you to achieve whatever your goals in the water might be.
