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 at no additional cost. MAX of 2 students and they must be the same level (beginner, intermediate or advanced). If you have 3 or 4 beginner students in your family, please purchase TWO 15-minute lessons. We will schedule you back-to-back for 30 in a row, but only 2 children can be in the pool at the same time because we won't have assistant teachers available to help with these lessons. If you have more than 2 children and you want them all to be in the pool for the full 30 minutes, then you should sign up for family group lessons.
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 (Mon - Thurs) 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-minute, a 30-minute or a longer time slot.
Mommy & Me Lessons: These are classes for children 3 and younger. An adult is required to be in the pool with them. That adult can me mom, dad or any trusted individual, and adults can switch off nights. This class runs for TWO WEEKS, Mon - Thurs for 30 minutes each night. The cost is $85.

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!
