Basic Training

Basic Training is Monday - Friday, 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks. Tuition is $75 a week and $25 yearly Registration fee. It is absolutely imperative that your child attends every session during training. Children learn best with consistency and routine. Muscle memory is a huge factor in swimming which also takes lots of consistency, by missing sessions we then have to retrain on actions we've already learned.

- Lessons- 10 minute sessions at the same time every day, 5 days a week, Mon-Fri. . Lessons are not credited or made up if missed. Tuition is a weekly fee to reserve your child's spot

- Attire- All kids 3years and younger or not fully potty trained are REQUIRED to wear a tight fitting reusable swim diaper.

- Tuition- is due every Monday as cash or check, $75 per week per child

- FOOD RESTRICTIONS- No meals or dairy less than 3 hrs prior to class. Your child may have dry snacks such as cheerios or goldfish up until 2 hours before. Nothing by mouth less than 2 hours prior to lessons, please factor in naps as your body does not digest while sleeping

- Fun Fridays- The first and last Friday of your child's course I strongly encourage you or a caretaker to join their lesson to learn how to practice at home.

- Practice- Please DO NOT try to practice swimming or floating at home before learning hands on with me and your child in the pool. Training takes consistency.

- Videos & pictures- I do not mind pictures. Please let me know before taking a video and keep your videos to short 1 minute segments.

-Floatation devices-Once your child begins the program it is very important you discontinue using floatation devices as we are attempting to build correct muscle memory puddle jumpers and arm floaties will do the opposite

-Check Off - at the end of basic training I will ask you to bring your child to a lesson fully dressed in winter clothes and regular diaper. During this session your child will demonstrate the life saving skills they've learned. I do request parents to be silent during this lesson.
