“Our street shares a pool, and four of us booked the same afternoon. The instructor wrote to each family after every class about what the group practiced.”

Swim lessons at the pool on your street

Neighbors
Swim with the neighbors
Lessons can be a happy thing to share with a few friends. Two to four swimmers on the same street can share a lesson time at one pool, and your family arranges access to it.
Your pool, or a neighbor's
A backyard pool belongs to someone, and that someone says yes. If a neighbor offers their pool, we teach there with their say-so and with an adult from one of the swimmers' families on the deck.
A community pool
Many neighborhood and community pools have their own rules for outside instructors, guests and hours. Your family asks the pool's manager or board and tells us what they say, and we teach only where the rules allow it.
A group matched by level
Neighbors who share a time are matched by level, not by age. When one swimmer moves up, we adjust the group and the instructors so every level keeps its ratio.
Five levels
Find your swimmer's cap color
Each level has a cap color, an age range and a short list of what swimmers practice. The first visit tells us where to start, and the instructor decides when a swimmer moves up.

“She asked us what the pool's rules were before she asked anything else, then called the board herself to say what she needed. That made it easy for us.”
Marcus L., parent of a seven-year-old“Lessons in our own backyard meant no driving at dinner time. The instructor was at the gate when she said she would be, every week.”

Questions families ask first
Where do lessons happen?
In a pool your family arranges: your own backyard pool, a neighbor's with their say-so, or a community pool whose rules allow outside instructors. We teach where the pool's rules allow it.
Who arranges the pool?
Your family does. For a shared or community pool, please ask the pool's manager or board about outside instructors and guests, and tell us what they say. We never ask a family to do more than that.
Can neighbors share a lesson?
Yes. Two to four swimmers of the same level can share a lesson time at one pool.
What happens in a class?
A class is thirty minutes. The instructor greets the swimmer at the water, works through the level's skills in short turns, and ends with a game. Younger levels stay close to the wall.
How do we start?
Ask about a first visit. An instructor comes to the pool, gets in the water with your swimmer and suggests a level and a weekly time.
How does tuition work?
It depends on the kind of lesson, the level and how many classes a week. The page on how tuition works says what each part is for, and our current figures are on the enrollment page.

Tell us your town and the pool, and we will find a time. Have a towel ready; swim shirts are welcome.
