Frequently asked questions
How long is each swim lesson?
Each swim lesson is 30 minutes, with options for 1 or 2 lessons per week. We design our programs this way because consistent practice and more frequent water time greatly enhance a student’s learning process. Swim lessons are capped at 30 minutes, as longer sessions often lead to fatigue, reducing performance.
How much does each swim lesson cost?
Same rates apply for kids/teens and adults lessons.
Semi-private swimming lessons: (1 on 2)
- Semi-private lessons start at $30+HST/lesson, each class lasting 30-minutes.
- If you book 2 lessons a week or sign up 2 students, the cost is $50+HST/lesson or $25 per student for each class, saving you $40 a month.
Private swimming lessons: (1 on 1)
- Private swim lessons start at $50+HST/lesson, each class lasting 30-minutes.
How fast will I/my child learn how to swim?
Depending on the age of the student the time it takes to learn varries. For children ages 4-12 it generally take between 8-12 swim lessons to be able to comfortably swim independently in shallow and deep water. For teenagers 13+ and adults, it generally takes between 4-8 lessons to learn how to comfortably swim in shallow and deep water on their own. Students that regularly practice, take more lessons, and take private lessons, generally take less time to learn.
What if I/my child misses a lesson?
Attendance Policy
If you or your child cannot attend a swim lesson, we require 12 hours' notice. With advance notification, we can give you a make up token which can be used to schedule a lesson at your convinience and when your Instructor is available.
How many students are there in each class?
At our swim school we only offer private and semi-private swimming lessons, meaning we only offer (1 on 1) and (1 on 2) classes and that our class sizes range from 1-2 students including you or your child. This means that in a class it would either just be you/your child if you pick a private lesson, or you/your child and one other swimmer if you chose a semi-private class. We never pair semi-private adult swimming lessons with children's swimming lessons, so if you pick a semi-private class for your child they would always be learning alongside another child not an adult.
How do payments work?
We take monthly payments for lessons, each payment covers 1 month worth of lessons. Payments are expected to be made at the start of each month, if your first lesson begins in the middle of the month you will be charged for the remaining lessons left in the month, then be billed for the next month ahead on the day prior to the start of the coming month. If you chose to cancel lessons, we require a 1 week notice either by phone or email, prior to your next bill.
