​

How many sessions will it take my child to learn how to swim?

Each child learns at a different pace, we do our very best to ensure each child progresses in each lesson. We do not guarantee that your child will be swimming after one session but we will continue to work with them at their individualized pace regardless of the level they are placed in. Our levels can vary greatly for example we may have a class of timid beginners and a class of beginners who are building confidence and will soon be swimming. If you are concerned about your child’s progress please contact us at (480) 461-3888

​

What if my child missed a lesson due to an illness?

We are so sorry that your child was sick, but thank you so much for keeping them home and reducing the spread of their illness! We do our very best to accommodate our clients with make-up classes but make-ups are based upon availability and are limited to one make-up per child per session. We maintain quality and safety by keeping our child to instructor ratio at 4:1, we will never overfill a class for a make-up. We can not guarantee a make up class.

​

Do you offer swim lessons for older beginners and adults?

Yes we have a few options for older beginners. If your child is between the ages of 6 and 17 and is a complete beginner with no swimming experience we recommend signing them up for a private class. You can see private swim lesson pricing for children here.

​

We also have options for adult beginners, we offer small group and private classes to suit your needs.
