2025 Registration is 

Reflection of a very common concern made to me: I am concerned that since my child is scared of lessons, (s)he will develop a fear of the water:  Kids will hate what they are afraid of. Until they know how to be safe around the water, they will be scared.  If you just stay persistent, they will not be afraid forever.  It can take more than one summer, too.  It is not easy.  Kids don't always like it.  But we make our kids do things they do not like all the time for safety's sake.  Most kids do not like wearing a seatbelt, getting immunizations, eating vegetables or going to school.  But we make them do it because we know what is best for them and want them to grow up safe and healthy.  Learning to be safe in the water is no different except it is a little harder to watch.  BUT, if we can allow them to be successful in this environment, they will know they can be successful anywhere.  They learn so much more than how to swim.  They will learn perseverance, confidence, bravery, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, communication skills, exercise, focus, respect, taking on challenges, safety and so much more.

Classes:  All classes will run for 4 days: Monday through Thursday with make-ups scheduled on an individual basis.      

Scheduling: All classes will be scheduled online through my website.  Once you submit your registration form, you will receive an automated email confirming your responses.  
Filling out the registration form does NOT guarantee you a spot. Within 1 week of receiving your registration form, I will send you a confirmation email stating which class(es) (if any) you will be registered for.  I do require a non-refundable $25 deposit PER CHILD/PER SESSION within 7 days of receiving your confirmation email to keep your spot. If I do not receive the deposit within the 7-day window, you may lose your reservation. This year, you will be allowed to pay your non-refundable deposit via check, cash, PayPal, Venmo or Apple Pay.  However, you must pay the remaining $110 in CASH ONLY on the first day of class. All of this information will be included within the confirmation email.

Make-ups: Make-ups are not a guarantee.  It is always my goal to provide exceptional experiences.  I have been very lenient in the past as I work extremely hard to please everyone.  However, it can be very difficult to fit in several make-up classes each week when my sessions are so busy.  I understand that life happens.  And because of that, I will evaluate requests for make-ups on an individual basis.  
Cancellation policy: If you have started the class already and you decide it is not a "good fit" for your child, there will be no refund.  Please read about my lessons before you sign up.  Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns ahead of time.
