Which lessons should I choose?
Private Lessons
-Ages 3 & up (no exceptions)
-Child needs more specialized or one-on-one training
-Ability to sign up for however many lessons you would like
-More flexible with what they learn and work on, not a pass or fail at the end. You meet with your instructor and discuss your goals for your child.
-Best for children wanting to go on to do competitive swimming or swim team
-Best for children who may not be able to pay attention in a group
Group Lessons
-Children 2 & up (age 2 is a parent/child class, parents must get in the water with their 2-year-old)
-There is a set number of lessons depending on age
-Must be able to pay attention and focus in a group of 8 or more students
-For children needing to learn to float & develop recreational swimming strokes
-Structured pass or fail skill levels with lesson plans and achievements/certificates at the end of each level or age group.
-Not necessarily going on to competitive swimming but helps develop proficient skills, does not disqualify you from pursuing swim team
-More cost effective

Cancelation Policy:
- If you do not show up for your lesson time, you WILL NOT be able to reschedule your lesson. We pay our instructors for being here whether you show up or not.
- If you know you cannot make your lesson time, please give us a call at the aquatic center, 660-562-2663, at least 24 hours in advance.
- If you do not give us a 24 hour notice, your lesson will not be made up. You are free to schedule another lesson at the front desk, at regular cost.
Please understand that scheduling private lessons take a lot of time and coordination. If you do not show up for a lesson or give us less than 24 hours notice, you are taking a space away from someone else that could have scheduled with your instructor. We will work with extenuating circumstances.
