Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:

What if I'm asked to leave during my child's swim lesson?

Generally we ask parents to leave when the instructor has to compete for your childs' attention, whether crying, being silly or just not focusing in general. We feel that your child will get a better lesson if they're allowed to concentrate fully on the instructor. During the summer, you might have to leave the pool area entirely, but during the bubble months, you might be able to sit outside the bubble and wait.

What if my child refuses to get changed for swimming or doesn't want to go in the water?

If your child does not want to get changed or has problems focusing on getting changed, we recommend showing up early to facilitate changing before swimmers from the previous lesson get out of the pool, or to arrive at Little Swimmers with your child already wearing swimsuits.

We find that most children are fine once they actually get in the water. A no-nonsense approach works best and also elimates any confusion as to when the lesson is starting. If necessary, we don't mind parents physically handing over the little swimmer to establish authority for the instructor.

Why did my child get a time-out during the lesson?

We do use time-outs during swim lessons if needed. Instructors try to focus your child's attention through diversion, but wil give three warnings for any behavior non-condusive to swimming or instruction thereof. 

Why do your lesson prices seem high?

Actually, our lessons are very affordable. Compared to other swim schools who sell a longer commitment to shorter classes, we are very competitive. Not many other places can your children get such quality instruction for an hour, with a maximum of one other swimmer in the class at $40!
