❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is best to start swimming lessons?
We accept swimmers as young as 4 months. The earlier a child is introduced to water in a safe, guided setting, the more comfortable and confident they become long-term.
Do I need to bring any special gear for my child?
A snug-fitting swimsuit, towel, and swim cap are recommended. For young children, swim diapers may be required. We’ll provide a gear checklist upon registration.
How many lessons per week are recommended?
For best results, we recommend at least one consistent lesson per week. For faster progression or confidence building, two sessions weekly can be ideal.
How do you help nervous or fearful swimmers?
Our instructors are trained in emotional development and water anxiety techniques. We move at your child’s pace and celebrate every small win to build confidence naturally.
Do you offer trial lessons before committing to a session?
Yes! We offer introductory lessons so your child can meet the instructor and get a feel for the program before full enrollment.
