GROUP SWIM LESSONS FAQS
It is important to wear proper swim attire during swim lessons. The baggier and bigger the swimsuit fits on students, the harder it will be for them to swim. As students progress to the more advanced swim levels, it is recommended that girls wear one-piece swimsuits and boys wear speedos or jammers.
Students in our Parent and Me program are very strongly encouraged to wear a Happy Nappy swim diaper. They are available for sale in our retail store.
For each level that Premier Swim Academy offers, there are a few key skills that the instructor will focus on. It is very important that each of the skills is mastered before students move on to the next level in order to follow the specially designed curriculum. It is common for younger students (3 to 5 years old) to spend more time on the 2nd and 3rd level skills where kicking correctly is crucial. The same is true for older students (5 to 8 years old) to spend more time at advanced levels where a great deal of coordination is required to master skills. Feel free to ask your instructor questions about how you can practice at home to help your student master the required skills to level up!
Depending on what day of the week your swimmer is signed up for, you may be charged a different amount from month to month. The reason for this is that we charge you for the number of lessons your swimmer will have in the month. For instance, if your swimmer swims on Mondays, there are 4 Mondays in April, and 5 Mondays in May, therefore, your monthly fee will be greater in May.
In addition, if you started your lessons mid-month, your monthly rate was prorated to reflect the number of lessons you have left in the month.
