FAQ

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 2^nd and 3^rd 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.

Absolutely! We have specific viewing areas for parents to watch and enjoy lessons at each facility.

For the beginning levels of swim lessons, we recommend that your child does not wear goggles. Students will become reliant on goggles and may have a harder time if there is ever a water-related emergency. As students show comfort opening their eyes under the water without goggles, instructors will then recommend that they may start to wear goggles.

All of our instructors track their students’ progression throughout their swim levels. There are two ways that you can get this information:

1. Ask your instructor after your class to see which skills your student is mastering, and which skills still need some practice.
2. Check out your student’s progress online through the Parent Portal. Your instructor will update your swimmer’s skill chart by the end of each day.

In the early stages of learning to swim, it is not uncommon for students to cry. If this happens, it’s best to let the instructors work their magic and have parents stay back or even “hide” (or watch from an area that your student cannot see you). Parent involvement not only undermines the instructors but will ultimately hinder the learning process. Trust our instructors to take care of your child – they are in good hands!

All you need to bring to your swim lessons is a swimsuit, towel, and a great attitude! Premier Swim Academy will provide all the toys and tools used to teach the best swim lessons.
