At what age should my child start swim lessons?
At what age should my child start swim lessons?
We recommend starting children in swim lessons at 6 months old. We have found that the earlier children start in swim lessons, the quicker they learn.
What equipment do I need to begin lessons?
What equipment do I need to begin lessons?
If your child is enrolled in a mommy and me lesson, there is no need for equipment. Beginner swimmers will need to purchase a bubble. A bubble is not considered a flotation device, but it is a swim training tool. The bubble puts all of the flotation on the child's back which allows them to move their arms freely and get into the horizontal swimming position. As the child progresses, we will remove foam pieces until they are swimming without any support. Your child will also need a kickboard and goggles. Visit our product links tab for links to purchase.

If you need to cancel a swim lesson due to illness or change in plans, please let us know as soon as possible. We will try to reschedule the lesson if possible. We do cancel for heavy rain and thunder. We do not cancel lessons for cloudy weather. We will contact you the day of your lesson if we need to cancel due to weather.
What are the optimal pool conditions for lessons?
What are the optimal pool conditions for lessons?
It is much easier for children to learn how to swim in warmer water. In colder water, children tend to stiffen up which makes it harder for them to swim. We recommended heating your pool to at least 84 degrees for swim lessons if you have a heater. Your pool must be completely clear to hold the swim lesson. You should be able to see the bottom of the pool clearly in both the shallow end and deep end. Please check your chemicals every day. Poor water quality can be dangerous for both your child and the instructors. If your pool clarity is not adequate, we will need to cancel the lesson.
What equipment is not permitted in a swim lesson?
What equipment is not permitted in a swim lesson?
We do not allow any type of flotation device during swim lessons including puddle jumpers and life jackets. If your child is currently using a puddle jumper or life jacket we highly recommend not using them in the pool. Flotation devices such as puddle jumpers give your children a false sense of security in the water and often put your child in the vertical swimming position. We also do not allow goggle masks that cover the nose. Masks restrict the amount of oxygen during swimming and do not allow the child to learn how to blow bubbles out their nose.
