Swim Lessons

We do not offer make-up lessons for students enrolled in a Group Swim Lesson, unless we cancelled the Lesson due to bad weather. Make-up days are allowed 3 days before your scheduled Private Lesson for students enrolled in Private Lessons. 

The following outlines the process:

  • To qualify for a make-up – you must email support@superioraquatictraining.com 2 days before your scheduled lesson.
  • Missed make-up lessons cannot be made up if we are not notified 2 days prior to the lesson, however you may purchase another available lesson online to make-up the missed lesson.
  • Make-up swim lessons with specific teachers cannot be guaranteed.
  • We recommend not feeding your child for at least 2 hours before a lesson especially dairy products.

Every child is different and learns differently. Learning depends upon many factors including their developmental stage, previous experiences around water, ability to deal with change and practice. Some children regress a little before they progress. It is important to be patient and positive.

Your child’s swim level will depend on previous experience, age and whether they fear the water. For more information please refer to the Class Description under Swim Lessons.

We do not offer make up classes unless the class is canceled due to extreme weather.

  • Bathing suit
  • Towel
  • Change of clothes
  • Swim goggles

We ask that students are on time, preferably 10 minutes before the class starts.
You will have a 10 minute grace period, however the time missed can not be made up.
