How tuition works
Our current figures are on the enrollment page, and we are glad to talk them through by phone. Here is what sets tuition and what each part is for.
What sets tuition
Tuition depends on the level, the length of the class and how many classes a week a swimmer takes. Bubbles and Floats classes are half an hour; the other three levels are forty-five minutes. A session runs eight weeks, and the enrollment page shows our figures for it.

Registration
A yearly registration covers your swimmer's file and the placement visit. It is due when you register for your first session, and it comes once a year.

Holding a place
Your swimmer's file and the first month of tuition hold a place in a class. If a class is on the waitlist, places go out in the order families asked, and we call or text the day one opens. If a swimmer moves up a level mid-session, the place moves too.

Billing
Tuition is billed monthly, with autopay if you like. Open swim memberships are billed monthly too, and each bill is shown before it goes out.

Help with tuition
Ask us whether lesson assistance is open this month. We handle each request privately, at the front desk or by phone.
Ask at registration or any time by phone
Siblings
A second swimmer in the family, and a household open swim membership, are handled differently from the first. Ask us when you register and we will walk you through it.
Missed classes and make-ups
A missed class can be made up in another class at the same level within the session, space allowing. When the pool closes for weather or repairs, the class is made up too, and illness is handled the same way.

Caps, gear and other costs
A cap in the level's color is the one thing we ask every swimmer to wear in a lesson. Goggles, a swim shirt and a towel come from home. Open swim memberships and birthday parties are explained on their own pages.
