Lessons are scheduled via the registration form. Availability is dependent on location and instructor schedule openings. Register here.

Swim confidence is different for each individual so there's no standard time frame to swimming independently with confidence. You may be able to get a good estimate of the time frame  based on the swimmer's learning trajectory in other areas like monkey bars, riding a bike, or learning another skill-based sport or activity. Some people need a week of back-to-back lessons to refresh their skills, some need lessons for a whole summer or more. A few factors that come into play are prior experiences in and emotions about the water, prior swim lesson experience, physical abilities and inclinations, learning styles, access to a pool and time to practice skills between lessons. While progress may be different for each swimmer, regular practice is the consistent factor in gaining confidence in swim or any skill!

Lessons are held at clients' personal and residential pools. Areas covered include anywhere within 15 minutes of the intersection of Hwy 124/332. This includes parts of Braselton, Hoschton, Jefferson, Winder, Pendergrass, Talmo, Jackson County, Barrow County, parts of Hall County and parts of Gwinnett County and neighboring areas. For locations more than 10 min from Hwy 124/332, a $10 per lesson travel fee will apply. If you have access to a private or neighborhood pool and would like for an instructor to come to you, please reach out for availability! For locations outside the 15 minute travel radius, a minimum booking of 4 students in a block (whether sibling group, back-to-back private, or parent-and-me group) is required for an instructor to travel to your location. Travel to a location is never guaranteed until confirmed with instructor, please fill out a registration form, or email, text, or call to make a request.

Flexible scheduling is available through June 20. After June 20, classes are generally available Monday through Thursday, 8am-10am and 4pm-6pm, with these and all other times based on instructor availability and scheduled on a first-come basis. Classes are scheduled as a four lesson package for all lesson types. Friday and Saturday are generally used for make up classes for weather cancellations. All classes are by appointment only. Please fill out the registration form to schedule. You will receive an email confirmation of date and time before your first session. 

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your lesson time.  This will allow you time to settle, put on goggles, swim diapers if needed, and be ready to enter the water when instructed. Lessons are scheduled back-to-back. If you arrive late, you will not get that lesson time back. Please be on time to get the most out of lessons!

Make up classes are guaranteed for instructor cancellations due to weather or other instructor emergencies. All other make up classes are at the discretion of the instructor and require a rescheduling fee of $20. Please reach out via email, text, or call to make arrangements. 

We will continue to swim in the rain, but not in the thunder (with or without rain). In the case that there is thunder or other dangerous weather, your instructor will end the sesssion and reschedule at no cost to you.

Swimsuits, goggles, and a towel are all that a swimmer will need to participate in lessons. Children who are not yet fully potty trained are required to wear a disposable swim diaper, a cloth diaper cover (aka reusable swim diaper), and a swimsuit. 

Accepted payments include cash, check, Zelle or PayPal. Payment with cash or check can be made on the first day of class prior to the start of class or beforehand via Zelle or Paypal. Payment information will be sent in your registration confirmation email. Click here to register.

You must be present during your child’s swim lesson. This is also the best way for you to learn how to continue practicing your child's swim skills! Please be mindful to minimize distractions for your learning child as our lesson time is short.
