Traditional swim lessons do not have the time commitment or the same goal in mind as survival swim. Traditional swim lessons are an introductory class not geared towards the "survival" part of the pool. Drowning IS the leading cause of death in child and that is why we HIGHLY encourage survival swim over traditional swim lessons. However, we do understand the time commitment of these sessions are not for everyone and most of you still want your swimmers introduced to the water.
We come to you! Access to a pool is needed. Right now, Aquafinz is based out of Long Island. If you live elsewhere, feel free to reach out to us and based on instructor/lifeguard availability & location, we will try and accommodate your location as best as we can.
Regardless of if you have a pool or not, there will be one or multiple times in a child/adult life where a pool will be present. Getting your swimmer comfortable in the water at a young age will not only be enjoyable for them but ensure safety and to avoid any dangerous incidents that can occur. Not only is swimming great for enjoyment and safety but it is GREAT exercise.
Just a bathing suit, towel, goggles, water and their smile! Everything else is provided by our trained staff. Not only do they bring their skills, equipment like pool rings & pool noodles, but they bring their excitement and personalized lesson plan.
No, but we strongly encourage it, if possible. The best way to learn, especially when your swimmer is young, is through consistency. The more they swim, the faster they will learn! Is it possible to learn how to swim if you don't swim year-round? ABSOLUTELY! That is were muscle memory kicks in!
You can purchase a swim package at any point throughout the year and it will be on hold for you for the swimming season!
May/June. You can start swimming after this though!
August/September. You can stop swimming before this though!
Don't worry, they can be utilized next season! All swim packages do not have an expiration date so they can be used at your convenience.
Registration Fee:
The registration fee is a one-time non-refundable $100 per child that is being registered and is due upfront.
Payment for Swim Lessons
At this time, we are requiring payment in full upon signing to hold your spot. In the event we are unable to accommodate for your day/time your deposit will be refunded.
Refunds for Swim Lessons
The only refund that will be issued is in the event we are unable to accommodate the clients need for day/time. The value of unused services can either be exchanged for other Aquafinz, LLC services, transferred to another household or saved for the following swim season which will be determined that year. Aquafinz, LLC credited swim lesson services are valid for two (2) years and can be scheduled within our designated swim season during those two (2) years.
Client Cancellation/Rescheduling Policy for Swim Lessons
We offer a flexible cancellation/rescheduling policy to accommodate our clients' scheduling needs. All swim lesson services must be canceled/rescheduled at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled service to avoid incurring any additional fees. Services canceled less than twenty-four (24) hours before the appointment time are non-refundable with the exception of one (1) cancellation/rescheduling for an account credit. If a swim instructor needs to cancel, we will do our absolute best to schedule another team member to perform the service. In the case we are unable to accommodate, the student will be credited for that service to use at a future date. Although we strive to maintain your regular schedule, rescheduled services are subject to changes in swim instructor, date and/or time.
Inclement Weather Policy for Swim Lessons
All swim lesson services will be canceled in the event of severe rain, thunder, lightning or similar unsafe swimming conditions. We are constantly checking the weather and leave it up to the parents/guardians to reach out in advance if they want to proactively reschedule. Otherwise, we play it by ear based on the weather predictions. If the weather/surroundings become unsafe, we will require all those in the pool to exit immediately. All weather-related cancellations will result in a credit for a future service. In the event weather conditions become unsafe mid service, the remaining time of the service will be credited.
100% it is never too late to learn! We have instructors that are not only skilled to teach a child, but adults too! Regardless of your age, swimming is great for comfort around the pool and exercise as well.
You need access to a pool, yes. If you do not have access to a pool. inquire about our location at the Melville Hilton!
If you'd like to, yes. However, the best swim lesson is when there are little to no distractions and sometimes it can be hard for the swimmer to focus while their parent/guardian is in the pool. If there is a reason you need to be in the pool with your child, please disclose that to us and we are happy to accommodate.
We strongly discourage this because the difference in swim ability hinders the productivity of the lesson. Most swimmers learn best with 1:1 attention. Swim lessons, while they are very fun, the end goal is to have the swimmer be able to swim independently ASAP. With less distractions and undivided attention, the instructor and swimmer can best accomplish this. Since each lesson is 30 minutes, we want to make those 30 minutes the most effective for everyone involved.
Flotation devices give children a false sense of security and hold them in postures that are not compatible with swimming skills. If a child wearing or using a flotation device learns that s/he can jump into the water and go into a vertical posture allowing him/her to breathe, s/he is getting the wrong idea about how to stay safe. Flotation devices are for children who cannot swim. Children who cannot swim should not be allowed to learn that it is safe to play in the water while relying on a crutch. Life jackets must be worn in a boat or around the water when there is the potential for an accidental submersion. They are not a substitute for the ability to swim or for adult supervision.
