We accept ages 3 and up. Must be fully potty trained (no accidents).

When you start swimming lessons it all depends on time and resources. The fastest rate of progression is between 3-5 years old. Learning to float could take about three lessons for a three-year-old if they are not fearful of the water. The speed of learning also depends on the child's personality, skills and abilities ... it also depends on how often they get to practice swimming outside of swim lessons.

Research shows anyone taking lessons for the first time over the age of five progresses slower because they have already formed their ideas about the water and swimming. They must unlearn and then learn.

Parents do NOT swim with their child. Parents are allowed to stay and watch in the chairs around the pool or on my back porch; there is shade. Please no food or drinks (only WATER) on my pool & patio areas.

If siblings are also watching, they need to sit quietly and not be a distraction from our lessons. If they get fussy or loud, they will need to leave. They may not run around. They may NOT get in the pool. They will have to sit.

Parents are asked to leave (out of sight) if a child is not cooperating or fussing (this typically applies to younger first-time swimmers and tapers off with each lesson).

We love having parents watch their swimmer's class to allow them to observe what their swimmer can and cannot do. This also gives them the terminology, skill performance and ideas as to what needs to be practiced for success.

• A Swimsuit - Already on

• A Water bottle - Already full

• Sunscreen - Applied 20-30 minutes prior to class to absorb into your skin so it doesn't wash off or sting your eyes.

• 2 Towels - One for when you get out & one to keep your car dry.

• A Snack – Swimming makes you SO hungry. Have a snack in the car ready.

• Ear Drops* - To use after swimming lessons prevent swimmer’s ear (*optional)

The swimming lessons are 5 consecutive days for 45 minutes each. $200 for the first child, $150 for siblings or an additional week, and $100 for a sensory private 1:1 lesson. We give special certificates & Big lollipops at the end of our week together during our pool party with noodle races. Our younger students also get a sticker at the end of each lesson.

No! I am sorry.

I do have a child camp-potty behind a small privacy screen & wipes available.

Unfortunately, the closest restroom from my pool requires a person to walk through my main living room and into the hallway. Because of this, I ask everyone to prepare accordingly. CVS is 13 minutes away.

Please EXIT after your lesson. Lessons are over on time, and it will be time for you to exit and leave. My driveway will be full of cars, so I need everyone exiting to allow parking for the next group. Please visit with friends elsewhere so our parking is available. The nearest park is behind Sonic in Melissa, Tx. Meet there for continued fun.

When you arrive, park on my driveway, pulling all the way in or park in the street. Come through the gate on the side nearest my garage. Do not enter the pool until I call for your lesson at the start time. Wait on the porch or the seating area. The previous class will not have moved their cars if you arrive too early. Plan to park no earlier than ten minutes before class.

Children are grouped according to their skill level.

Class ratios vary with about 4 per group with up to two groups per class. Imagine one teacher at one end with four kids and another teacher at the other end with a different level group of 4. This will be helpful for grouping siblings who have different skill levels.

If we do not have at least 4 children signing up for a camp, we will call you and discuss what you want to do.

Swimming is more than just a life-saving skill—it’s a source of joy, confidence, and lifelong recreation. We believe every child should have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the water, and we are committed to making that possible for all swimmers.

Our team is experienced in working with children of all abilities, including those with autism, anxiety, mobility challenges, and other unique needs. If your swimmer requires additional support, please reach out—we are happy to make accommodations and may be able to do more than you expect.

Creating an inclusive, supportive, and encouraging environment is at the heart of what we do. The special learner community is especially dear to us, and we are dedicated to ensuring every swimmer feels safe, empowered, and successful in the water.

Lessons are non-refundable unless there is someone on the waitlist who wants to take over your time slots.

If we have rain/thunder/lighting and I cancel classes, then you are welcome to come on our makeup day. But class sizes may be larger on that day.

If we do not have at least 4 children signing up for a camp we will call you and discuss what you want to do.

We will have 1 make up day at the end of summer. If you are absent due to illness or we had a storm we will make up classes on this day. The makeup day is July 28th by RSVP ONLY, please fill out the contact form on the website to inquire for this day.
