A group session’s cost is $100 per child, and a private session is $300 per child. A child must be at least 3 years old to enroll in private lessons or group lessons. The deadline to register will be one week before the session start date.

PRIVATE LESSONS – One-on-one lessons. Children above 3 years old and adults are welcome to register. Our private classes can help your child achieve and exceed their swimming goals. These lessons help even the most reluctant adults to conquer their fears. The cost is $300 per person.

GROUP LESSONS – There is a minimum of three children needed to run the group lesson. The maximum number of children per group is five. A child must be at least 3 years old to enroll in group lessons.

Level Description

turtle-level-swim-lessons

Sea Turtles

This beginning level for children teaches them to be comfortable and safe in the water. This class will introduce exercises in the water: arm movement, body position, leg movement, floating and blowing bubbles, connected with freestyle and backstroke. This level is recommended for children who have never taken lessons, preferably children between 3 and 5 years old but all children are welcomed.

This group is for children confident in the water and know the basic swimming skills of freestyle and backstroke. At this level, arm position, leg exercises, breathing, turns, tread water, and diving will be practiced. This group’s focus is for children that already know basic skills of freestyle and backstroke or for children that passed the Sea Turtles level.

Make-up Lessons

We allow up to two make-up lessons per session. If the class is canceled, it will be made upon the following Friday at the same time. In case the lessons are canceled more than 2 times per session, there will be no additional make-ups.
Lessons may be canceled only due to inclement weather or mechanical problem at the pool. If there is thunder and lightning within 20 minutes of your lesson time, classes are automatically canceled. If there’s only rain/wind/low temperature, YOU STILL NEED TO COME TO THE POOL AT YOUR SCHEDULED TIME. It will be up to your instructor whether or not classes will be held. If inclement weather occurs during a class, the class will only be made up if less than 15 minutes of instructions have been given. If more than 15 minutes of a lesson is taught, there will be no make-up for that lesson.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Lessons cannot be split between different sessions. All lessons must take place within the assigned period. If a student cannot attend all 8 lessons during the session, these lessons are not allowed to be made up in the following sessions.
We do not offer refunds for the group lessons canceled after the session starts.
We offer a $250 refund for the Private and Book an Instructor lesson canceled before the 3rd lesson starts.
We do offer refunds for the lessons canceled before the session starts.

Learn to Swim

Swim Lessons are a critical resource given that drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of four. Fortunately, research shows that a toddler who participates in swim lessons reduces this risk by 88%. Children of any age can quickly benefit from learning the skills to keep themselves safe in and around water. At High Sierra Pools, we are dedicated to preventing drowning by teaching children and their families to be safer. Our goal is that every student feels confident, in and out of the pool, with memories to last a lifetime.

Safer Facilities

According to the CDC, there is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread to people through chlorinated water. High Sierra Pools can allow purpose-driven swimming to take place by following strict safety protocols in and around the pool, maintaining proper water sanitation levels and, performing frequent cleaning and sanitization, and conducting regular health checks of staff and participants.
