Lessons take place in a beautiful private backyard in Holly Springs. To respect my family’s privacy, exact location is provided after registration.
It's really close to Bass Lake Park. -
During private sessions:
If your child is running and is not yet 2, he will be considered a "walker" and a parent is required in the water on day 1, 2 and also on the last day of the session.
Parents of floaters and children above 2 are not required in the water until the last day of the session.For group lessons:
Parents come in for aquababies. -
Infants to 6 years old.
Infant Readiness Requirements: Babies must be able to roll over from belly to back consistently and sit unassisted before starting lessons. We prioritize these physical milestones over chronological age to ensure every student is set up for success.

Every baby is different. Some cry, some don't. It's a good idea to be prepared for some tears.

Our private lessons are 10-minutes a day, 4 days a week (M-Th).
Your child will swim actively the entire time, making the most of every minute.Our group lessons are 30-minutes a week, once a week. Group lessons have 2 - 4 kids.

I’ve found that children progress much faster when they can't see their parents during the lesson. Once you hand your child to me, please wait in the screened porch waiting area. You’ll still have a great view, but this setup ensures we can move past the tears and get straight to building their skills. No sideline coaching allowed.

Consistency is the key to success. For the best results and the fastest progress, we strongly recommend choosing a session where your child can attend every single day.
However, we know life happens. To help families manage occasional travel or illness, we offer a Makeup Buffer Week:
The Policy: If your child has not yet mastered their skills by the end of the 6-week session, we offer up to 4 makeup lessons during Week 7 at no extra cost.
The Catch: This offer is only valid if your child has missed 4 or fewer classes during the regular session.
Why? If a child misses 5 or more lessons, the break in consistency usually means they won't be able to finish the program in just one extra week. In these cases, additional weeks of instruction are required at a rate of $150 per week.
Our goal is to get your child water-safe as efficiently as possible. Sticking to the schedule is the best way to make that happen!

A little rain won't stop us, but heavy rain and lightning are a cause of delaying or canceling lessons for the day. Make ups will be offered. We will announce delays and cancelations on our social media stories.
