Scheduling;

We schedule monthly.

Coaches are booked at each travel location for 1 hour minimum. If you would like a private session for 1 child swimmer at your home for 30 minutes we can put you on waitlist.

GROUPS: The spots per coach are limited. 3 swimmers to one 30 minute session. If you take that spot you are committing to that session.

There is a roll over for 1 emergency sick day per month IF your scheduled 2 or more sessions per week.

Anything less than 2 sessions forfeits any sick/cancellations and will require payment in full with no discount.

$20 per lesson fee for swimmers attending under the recommended times.

YOUR HOME: If you are scheduled and submit payment and are waiting on a coach to be selected for your swimmers we will return any funds if your not scheduled and started within 10 days.

Any days prior to your official start date that was paid will be used as credit for the following month.

If we're looking for your coach, and it takes over 10 days to get you booked you can choose to be reinbursed OR stay at the front of the line and receive the soonest available coach. Once you're reinburesd that will remove you from the line and move the next person to the top of the wait list.
