the gate to the right of the house.

Push the wooden gate firmly and it will open.

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, swimsuit, and reusable swim diaper.

That's really all you need!

We provide goggles, toys, and all of the equipment used during lessons.

Quick tip: You may also find it helpful

to bring an extra towel to lay your child on

while changing after class.

plan ahead

To help lessons start smoothly,

we recommend that

everyone arrive dressed

in their swimsuit, ready to swim.

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

Apply minimal sunscreen &

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

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 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.

Quick tip: Swim diapers are designed to contain solids, not liquids.

To help keep your car seat dry,

we recommend waiting until you arrive at the pool to put on your child's swim diaper.
