Every child learns at their own pace, but with private instruction, most show significant improvement within 8-10 sessions. Factors like age, comfort level in water, and practice frequency all play a role. We focus on progress, not pressure—celebrating every small victory along the way.
We understand life happens. We offer a flexible 24-hour reschedule policy—simply notify us at least 24 hours before your lesson, and we'll find a new time that works for you. Short-notice reschedules may be accommodated based on instructor availability.
