ON YOUR FIRST DAY

please arrive

5-10 minutes early

so that you and your child have time to familiarize yourselves with parking, entrance to the pool, waiting and changing areas, and acclimation to new surroundings.

For all future lessons

please enter the backyard about

5 minutes before

your scheduled class time and

leave promptly after your class has ended.

Your peaceful presence and punctual arrival and departure times ensure that your student and other participants receive as much of a distraction-free

lesson experience as possible.

late arrival Procedure

If you are running

more than 10 minutes late,

or will be missing the class entirely,

we would greatly appreciate a call or text

so we can alert the instructor.

Lessons typically start and end on time. If you are likely to be late, please know that you may miss a portion of your lesson.

Packing for the Pool

Please bring a towel and swimsuit for your child(ren). Ideally, students should come dressed in their bathing suit,

with sunscreen or rash guard already on

and ready to swim.

That's all you really need,

we provide all the toys, goggles, and other equipment necessary!

plan ahead

Apply minimal sunscreen &

use the bathroom at your house BEFORE coming to the pool.

Minimal sun protection is suggested since the shallow end is thoroughly shaded and therefore excessive sunscreen and/or protective clothing may not be necessary.

WHO'S MY TEACHER?

Before lessons begin, you will be contacted with your teacher's name, picture, and a short bio about them.

GOT GOGGLES?

We have goggles available for students to borrow, or you can purchase our recommended Kids H2 Finis goggles from us at the pool for as low as $15.00.

TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT?

Please eat lunch or snacks at home at least

1 hour before lessons. Please note there is a

$300.00 pool cleaning fee if vomit or fecal matter escapes into the water as well up to a $500.00 fee for lost revenue.

diaper POLICY

If your child has been

potty trained for 6 months or less

they are required to wear

a REUSABLE

tight-fitting leak-proof swim diaper.

These types of diapers are the most effective method of maintaining a

healthy pool water environment.

DISPOSABLE swim diapers

are not accepted.

Each Session, lessons are held for

3 consecutive weeks

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays

Tuesdays and Thursday

(depending on which

day schedule you have chosen).

Each class lasts approximately 20 minutes. Typically, we begin lessons on time.

Please do your best to arrive on time.

Refund Policy

There are no refunds for missed lessons.

This includes late arrivals.

If you need to cancel a lesson due to illness

or other scheduling conflicts,

please contact us as soon as possible.

Cancellation Policy

Lessons will occur if it is raining

(unless there is thunder and/or lightning).

On the rare occasion that we need to cancel lessons for any reason, you will be contacted and offered a refund. You will be notified by phone, text, or email if there are any changes to your lesson schedule.

Sick Policy

Please bring healthy students only!

If you have a child who is sick,

please email us before 8:00 am.

If you miss a class due to illness

and you have contacted the office on or before 8:00 am the day of your lesson,

you may be eligible to schedule an

additional class on one of these pre-set Sundays:

May 18th, June 29th, Aug 10th, & Sept 21st.

You may choose whichever Sunday date works best for you (space permitting). Sunday lessons must be requested during your current session via email.

We will respond with up-to-date availability and instructions on how to register.

Only one additional Sunday lesson may be allowed per student per 3-week session.

Lessons missed for any reason

other than illness are not eligible

for an additional lesson.

Sick SIBLING Policy

If one of your children is sick

and unable to attend their lesson,

you may prefer to have their healthy sibling use the lesson time instead

(rather than scheduling an additional lesson on one of the above-mentioned Sundays).

If so, we may be able to offer a 30-minute lesson plus an additional 10 minutes of less structured pool time.

To arrange this, please email us before 8:00am on the day of your lesson so we can approve your request and notify the teacher of the schedule change.

Please remember that

your spot is not secured for future classes until you have enrolled and paid online for that 3-week session.

If you are interested in a spot later in the season, please email us as soon as possible so we can send you a registration invitation.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the pool and enjoying this season together!

As always, please reach out to us if you have

any comments or questions.
