This year we are offering THREE different types of lessons, so
please read the descriptions of those before selecting your lessons:
Private Lessons: 15-minute lessons for one student. The cost is $100 per week, for four 15-minute lessons Monday - Thursday. These lessons CAN be shared with ONE other student who is the same level for the same price; no additional cost. MAX of 2 students and they must be the same level (beginner, intermediate or advanced). Families purchasing multiple 15-minute lessons in one week will be scheduled back-to-back as much as possible.
Family Group Lessons: Families (or friends) will purchase
15-minute increments of time (you can purchase 15-minutes, 30-minutes,
45-minutes or 1 hour depending on your needs) so that all of their children can
swim together. These classes can be used for a private lesson (just like the description above) or a small grouping of various levels within the same family/friend
group. For example, a family with a
4-year-old beginner, a 6-year-old beginner and a 9-year-old intermediate could
purchase a 30-minute class time. They
could also bring their child’s best friend who is a 10-year old intermediate
and all 4 children could swim for the full 30 minutes. Both a teacher and an assistant teacher would
be in the water and take turns working with each group. The is cost is $100 per
for four 15-minute lessons TOTAL regardless of how many kids or ages are
in the pool (four 30-minute lessons = $200, four 45-minute lessons = $300,
etc). There are restrictions and guidelines to how many total people and levels
can be in a certain time slot. Please scroll all of the way to the bottom of this page, below the schedule, to read those guidelines so you know if you need a 15-min, 30-min or greater time slot.
Traditional Group Lessons: In our traditional group lessons, 6
children of the same level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) will be grouped
together with 2 teachers (a lead teacher and an assistant teacher) for a 2-
week session. Mommy & Me classes, for children under 3, require that an adult get in the pool with the student and have up to 7 students. Lessons are held Monday –
Thursday daily for 2 weeks for a total of 8 half-hour lessons. The cost is $85.

Classes will run for 1/2 hour, 4 days per week for 2 weeks making 8 total lessons. The cost is $85 total and an adult must be in the pool with the child at all times.
FAQ’s
Q: Can I share the time with a friend instead of only within my family?
A: Yes, but you need to arrive in ONE vehicle. At the very most, two vehicles could be allowed if it’s not possible to fit into one.
Q: What is the cost?
A: Lessons are $25 per 15-minute lesson ($100 for a 1-week session). Regardless of whether you choose to make it a private lesson or shared lesson, the price stays the same.
Q: Can I sign my child up for 30 minutes of a private lesson instead of 15?
A: We highly discourage doing more than 15 minutes of a 1-on-1 private lesson, especially with younger children ages 3 - 7. Children's attention spans are short. We can get soooooo much done in 15 minutes, and a 30-minute lesson would turn into a lot of play time and not a lot of additional instruction. It would be MUCH more effective to sign up for 2 weeks of 15-minute lessons than to sign up for 1 week of 30-minute lessons.
Q: What if my kids are really different ages? Can they still swim together?
A: Yes! No worries if your kids are 10, 5 and 3 and all beginners. Grouping by ability is much more important than age and we will vary our teaching technique to meet each child in an age-appropriate way.
Q: What if my family doesn’t fit into any of the scenarios above?
A: Please email us at cathyslilfish@gmail.com prior to registration day and Cathy or Cindy will reach out to you to figure out the best solution.
Q: Can I sign up for more than 1 week?
A: Absolutely!
