Pricing

We offer classes and pricing to suit your family’s needs!
Each of our classes takes place at a set weekly time -- same teacher/location/time every week.
We bill tuition on a monthly basis on the 1st of the month, and your family’s monthly tuition rate is determined by (a) how many total classes your family is enrolled in, and (b) whether each class is a group or private class.

1 Group Lesson Per Week (Children)

$145

Per Month

Monthly bill doesn't change whether there are 4 or 5 lessons in the month

2+ Group Lessons Per Week (Children)

$250

Per Month

Two weekly lessons for one child, OR one weekly lesson each for two children
Each additional weekly class costs $125/mo
e.g. 2 kids, each taking 2 weekly classes = 4 x $125/mo = $500/mo
Monthly bill doesn't change whether there are 4 or 5 lessons in the month

Private Lessons (Children & Adults)

$240

Per Month for 1 student

$350/mo for 2+ students per private session
e.g. if you have 3 kids near the same experience level, it'd be more cost effective to have one weekly private lesson for all three at $350/mo ($117/mo per student)*
*Than separate group lessons at $390/mo ($130/mo per student). This only works if students have relatively similar experience level

Level Graduation: Students graduate to the next level as soon as they’ve achieved the level’s skill development objectives. Toggle over to the “Our Programs” tab to learn more about the skill objectives of each level!
Tuition: Monthly flat fee that is automatically charged via credit card on the first day of each month. Note that enrollment leads to an ongoing monthly membership that will be auto-renewed every month until you provide notice of cancelation. We build our schedule on a monthly basis, and so require a minimum of 7 days' advanced written notice if you intend not to participate in the upcoming month so that we can plan for enrollment changes. Absent written notification by the 24th of the month, your credit card on file will be billed tuition for the upcoming month on the 1st.
1st Payment: Upon enrollment, you will pay the $30 registration fee per child and the pro-rated tuition for the remainder of the month. The registration fee covers the cost of the welcome pack you'll receive first day.
Registration Fee:$30 for each student, which covers cost of the welcome pack you will receive on your first day.

Make-Up Policy: As long as you provide us advance notice, you will always be granted a make-up lesson in the event of an absence. You can book your make-up lesson at your convenience through our app. No make-up lessons will be provided for no-shows. Private Lessons: If you provide us with advance notice that you will be absent, you will have two options for your make-up class: (a) Join a group class free of charge at your convenience, (b) Schedule a private make-up lesson and pay a $25 re-scheduling fee. This reflects the cost of extending instructors' schedules to provide private make-up lessons.

FAQ

How much do swim lessons cost?

Pricing varies based on how many lessons you take each week and the number of swimmers you enroll. For detailed pricing, please visit your nearest location’s webpage to find all the information you need.

How do I find the right swim class and register?

Finding your level is simple. Select your nearest local pool and complete our online swim assessment. This fast tool matches the swimmer's age and experience with the ideal curriculum level. Once matched, you can view current class schedules, select a convenient day and time, and register online. If you need assistance, our team is just a phone call away.

What certifications and training do your swim instructors hold?

Safety is our top priority. Every swim instructor undergoes a rigorous vetting process and completes our comprehensive, proprietary British Swim School certification program. Additionally, our instructors hold nationally recognized certifications in Lifeguarding, CPR, and First Aid. This ensures you and your family receive expert instruction focused on water survival skills and life-saving techniques in every single lesson.

How do students advance through your swim levels?

Our curriculum is built on a goal-driven, step-by-step progression where students learn at their own pace. Each distinct swim level features five clearly defined safety and skill milestones. Instructors continuously track performance during lessons to celebrate achievements. Once a student masters the five goals of their current level, they transition seamlessly to the next class tier without waiting for a new semester to begin.

What is the student-to-instructor ratio for swim lessons?

We keep our class sizes small to ensure personalized attention and maximum water safety. Our water acclimation and toddler water survival classes maintain a strict 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio. As swimmers advance into our stroke development and pre-team levels, classes maintain a 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio. This guarantees a supportive, focused environment for every swimmer

What types of swim programs do you offer?

Our specialized, year-round curriculum is divided into three primary programmatic tiers: Water Acclimation (building comfort and breaking water fear), Water Survival (teaching foundational life-saving floating and breathing techniques), and Stroke Development (mastering competitive swim strokes, speed, and stamina). Within these tiers, we offer targeted programs for infants, toddlers, kids, teens, and adults, alongside specialized adaptive aquatics.

At what age can babies start infant swim classes?

Children can begin learning vital water safety skills in our infant classes as early as 3 months old. We firmly believe it is never too soon to introduce babies to gentle water acclimation. Our programs feature no upper age limit, meaning we provide tailored classes for every milestone—whether you are looking for toddler survival skills, youth swim technique, or adult swimming lessons.
