During the 5-minute test, if there are tears or signs of distress we will immediately end the test and recommend Nervous Beginner Semi-Privates or additional pool time with parents during Family Swim. If your child passes the test, we will provide you with group lesson timeslots that are currently available .

If we do not have an opening that works with your schedule, we will place you on a waiting list. Please send us an email occasionally to check the status of our openings. Step 3– Once you have a time slot, it is yours until you decide to take a break or fail to make a payment on-time. |
