What about goggles?

 Q: Will my child need swim goggles for lessons?

A: If your child is level 3 or above, then swim goggles are good idea- for retrieving items from pool bottom,  and for ease with swimming strokes.  We will not need them in level 1 or 2, but if they help your little fish feel like a "big kid" or "swimmer" then we're happy to help them.

Q: What kind of goggles do you recommend?

A:My all time faves are ones that snap in the back, so you don't' have to pull them over the hair.  Amazon usually has two packs of these for less than 8 per pair.  Something like this: 

(as of this post they were one lightening deal for $8 for the 2 pack!)

FAQs: Why don't you offer a level 5

QUESTION WE GET ALL THE TIME: 

Q:Why don't you teach level 5

A: The Level 5 class is further practice of the skills taught in level 4 with the addition of more stroke refinement with ease and speed.  We do continue to teach these skills when swimmers who pass level 4 continue to retake level for increased proficiency.  A level 5 class also includes deep water diving and our pool design doesn't allow for anything other than shallow diving- so we can't offer a level 5 class and follow the American Red Cross Curriculum.  We can challenge your child in multiple sessions of level 4 though- so you don't have to stop once you pass level 4

FAQs: Can I bring my other kids to watch their siblings in Swim lessons?

 

QUESTION WE GET ALL THE TIME: 

Q:Can kids that aren't in the class watch?

A:  Quck answer: No.  Long Answer: While we welcome parents, we can't have kids in the backyard that are not in a swim class.    We know it's fun to cheer swimmers on, but it's also super distracting to the kids in classes and the teachers.  For their safety and to maximize our lesson time we try to limit distractions.  The other reason we only allow swimmers in the backyard is because at our Meridian Location, we don't have a gated pool, so for liability issues, only swimmers with their teachers are allowed in the backyard.  Plus we know how hard it is to be outside the pool when they would rather be in it!   Thanks for your understanding and support!

Q" What about babies in strollers?

A: We know your baby is probably going to stay put in a stroller- but that still doesn't solve the distracting concern-- because who doesn't want to smile at babies?  So please-- no babies either-- We know this means you won't get those perfect summer swim pictures that you need for grandparents and social media posts but we take pics and videos for you during each lesson and will share them freely with you.  We know that's important!

FAQs: How old does my child need to be to take lessons

 

QUESTION WE GET ALL THE TIME: 

Q:What age can  my child start swimming lessons?
