Swim season will soon be upon us! Here’s what is new:
Private lessons will be $50 per lesson. If you are signing up siblings of similar age and skill level in the same semi-private class, please contact us and we will add them manually. There will be a $10/lesson charge for additional siblings.
Group lessons will be $25 per lesson with no more than 3 students per class for levels 1 – 3 and no more than 4 students per class for level 4 – 6.
Please sign your child up for their appropriate skill level. Please arrive 5 minutes early to ensure an on time start. Time will not be made up for students who arrive late.
If you are not able to make one of the classes in a session, please let us know ahead of time and you will be able to make up the lesson for a $10 rescheduling fee.
We look forward to swimming with you in the 2024 swim season.
