FAQ's

  • How long will it take my toddler to get acclimated to the water? 
    Every child is different which is why we love them so much! The great part about this course is that you can go at your own pace; we suggest at least three times per week in the pool. The longer you can go, the higher the success rate once they enter our survival swim program.
  • What if I don't live in your area? Where does my child go for survival swim lessons once completed with the course?
    Send us a message and let us know where you live, we will help you find an instructor in the Survival Swim Development Network! 
  • Do I need any special equipment?
    Nope! Just a pool and yourself! 
  • Can I take this course if my toddler is scared of water?
    This is the best reason to take the course! They will be with someone they know, love and trust to guide them through this introduction! 
  • Is this suitable for non-swimmer parents?
    We want to make sure each parent or guardian is comfortable in the pool; if that's not you, designate someone who is to teach this course.
