Frequently Asked Questions:
How many lessons should I book for my child? Swim lessons are booked individually (e.g., not by a block of lessons) so any amount of lessons are permitted to be booked. However, if you have a very young swimmer that has minimal swim experience, families should expect that continued lessons may be required to build swimming proficiency. Caregivers should be aware that swimming proficiency cannot be accomplished in only a few lessons. Young children often need lessons over multiple periods of time and multiple exposures to gain swimming skills.
My child is a complete beginner and can get upset in the water. What is the best course of action? Our coaches are very comfortable working with swimmers who are nervous or uncomfortable in the water. Communicate with your coach about your child’s abilities and their comfort in the water. The coach will advise on how to best support your swimmer. At times, it is recommended for parents to stand away from the swim lesson area while swimmers get comfortable in the water. Our coaches have many tricks and techniques to get swimmers to build trust and feel comfortable.
Do I need to stay at the club during lessons? Yes. We ask that parents be present during the lesson. Parents can be on deck or around the club property, but we do ask that at least one guardian be on site.
How long are lessons? Lessons are 30 minutes each. Longer lessons are permitted only with the approval of the head coach due to unique circumstances.
Can your instructors also work on stroke technique? Yes! Our coaches are skilled at teaching beginner swimmers and older swimmers that need to work on technique.
What do I need to bring? A pair of well-fitting goggles, swim suit, and a swim diaper if needed.
