Instructors

We take pride in the quality instructors we keep on staff! Instructors must meet the following criteria before teaching a class:

• CPR/First Aid
• Water Safety Instruction (Red Cross)
• 40+ hours of in the water training

Instructors are trained to know when a child is genuinely afraid or strong-minded. Please allow them to decide and to focus their teaching so that your child will get the most from each lesson. We ask that you wait outside the pool area in order to avoid being a distraction to your child. Observation rooms are provided for parents and visitors. Please do not remove your child from their lesson before it is over, as this will only reinforce any anxieties they have about swimming.

All instructor requests will be considered, but may not always be honored due to scheduling constraints and class availability. When an instructor is absent, a substitute will be provided. Please be open-minded about new instructors and substitutes so that your child will be as well. We strive to maintain consistency among all instructors. All are trained in the same methods and teach the same curriculum for each class level.
