How tuition works

What sets tuition

Tuition depends on the kind of lesson, the level and how many classes a week a swimmer takes. A private lesson is one swimmer, a semi-private lesson is two, and a neighbor group is two to four swimmers of one level. A class is thirty minutes and a session runs six weeks.

Registration

A yearly registration covers your swimmer's file and the first visit at the pool. It is due when you register for your first session, and it is once a year.

Holding a place

Your first session's payment holds a weekly time at your pool. Popular after-school times can have a waitlist; we offer a time in the order families asked and text the same day one opens. If your swimmer moves up a level, the time stays with them.

Billing

Tuition is billed by the session through our enrollment page, with autopay if you like. You see each session on the page before it is billed, and you can change a time before the session starts.

Help with tuition

Ask us whether lesson assistance is open this month. We keep a small number of places for families who need help, and we handle each request privately.

Siblings

A second swimmer in the family is handled differently from the first. Brothers and sisters can share a lesson time at the same pool, and so can neighbors; ask when you register and we will walk you through it.

Missed classes and make-ups

A missed class can be made up in the same session, space allowing. A class moved for a storm, a very hot afternoon, poor air or a pool its owner or board has closed is made up too. Tell us as early as you can, by text.

Caps, goggles and what you bring

We ask every swimmer to wear a cap in their level's color. Goggles, a swim shirt and a towel come from your family; swim shirts are welcome in every class. The enrollment page lists which items cost extra and what each is for.
