We can’t remove every risk around water, but we can control the quality of your child’s lessons.

Common Questions From Parents
Yes, they can still learn.
Some kids are shy. Some are scared. Some need extra help. That’s okay. We work with all kinds of students, including those with special needs, every day.
We go slow, use gentle steps, and we help each student feel safe and proud.
People with special needs can learn to swim and fall in love with it.
The key is patience, kindness, and trust.
You don’t need to wait until your child is “ready.” That’s what lessons are for.
The sooner we start, the safer they become.
Group classes have a maximum of 4 students to 1 instructor.
Small group classes have a maximum of 2 students to 1 instructor.
Private classes have 1 student for 1 instructor. Additional students (siblings, etc.) may be added for an extra $5.00 per lesson).
Your child will be most successful in a regular learning environment. But, we know life happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What age should my child start swim lessons?
As early as possible. The earlier they start, the safer they are. We start at 4 months.
Did you know drowning is the #1 cause of death for kids ages 1 to 4? It happens fast and it’s silent. But, kids who take swim lessons are 88% less likely to drown.
Q. How long does it take to learn how to swim?
It depends. Each child learns at their own pace.
Think of swim lessons like school. You wouldn’t expect your child to read after one class, right? Swimming is the same. It takes time, practice, and patience.
Some students come with no inhibitions about water and just need skills training. Others may have anxiety putting their face in the water.
We use this general guideline:
more frequent lessons = better skill retention = faster progress
1 lesson per week = 16-18 weeks
2 lessons per week = 12-16 weeks
3 lessons per week = 10-14 weeks (strongly encouraged for kids with pools at home)
Our goal is to lead each student along the path of learning and loving to swim.
Q. How often should I take swim lessons?
The best way to learn is to take swim lessons at least 2 or 3 times every week.
Just like school or sports, kids learn faster when they practice often. If they only practice swimming in the summer, they may forget what they learned.
Want your child to learn fast and stay safe? Stay in lessons all year, not just in summer. Water is around us all the time in pools, bathtubs, lakes, and even during vacations.
Here’s what we recommend:
3 times a week = risk with nearby pool or water
2 times a week = faster progress
1 time a week = maintain skills
Year-round = safest choice
Remember: every lesson builds safety, confidence, and strong swim skills.
More practice = more confidence = more fun!
Q. How many students are in a group lesson?
Group Swim Lessons have a 4-to-1 student to teacher ratio.
Small Group Lessons have a 2-to-1 student to teacher ratio.
Private Swim Lessons offer a 1-to-1 student to teacher ratio.
Q. My child is timid / shy / afraid of the water / has special needs. Can they learn to swim?
Yes, they can.
Some kids are shy. Some are scared. Some need extra help. That’s okay. We work with all kinds of students, including those with special needs, every day.
We go slow, use gentle steps, and we help each student feel safe and proud.
People with special needs can learn to swim and fall in love with it.
The key is patience, kindness, and trust.
You don’t need to wait until your child is “ready.” That’s what lessons are for.
The sooner we start, the safer they become.
Q. What is the best age to start swim lessons?
The best age to start is 4 months.
They won’t learn full strokes, but they can learn how to:
* Be safe in water
* Hold their breath
* Roll onto their back
* Float and call for help
These are water safety skills — and they can save your child’s life.
Start early. Stay consistent. Keep your child safe.
