Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you are seeing interest. I begin swim lessons as early as 2 months old, and work with all ages. swim levels, and swimmers of all backgrounds.

I offer 3 locations, Klein, Spring, and Cypress. I also travel to your pool. I add a travel fee of $20 if you're not within 10 miles of 77379 area code.

Infant swim classes are 15 minutes. All other swim classes are 30 minutes.
If you’d like 1hr classes I will combine 2 classes to meet your request. This includes if you have multiple swimmers in a lesson. 

I have my BSI and WSI Certifications through Red Cross. 40+ hours of intensive in-classroom and in-water training as well as written and in-water exams. I also have CPR, and First Aid Certifications. I continue to be evaluated regularly and participate in monthly training sessions to ensure that your child is in the absolute safest environment.

Pools everywhere are closing or are closed due to coronavirus concerns. We’ve compiled research from multiple Health and Local Authorities that clarifies why this is happening, and whether or not swimming is still safe. 

For further background on COVID-19, see our article that compiles research on what and how this pandemic started and spread.

Coronavirus is a respiratory virus that is primarily spread via airborne droplets over a short distance, which can quickly settle on nearby surfaces. You may get the virus when you then touch those infected surfaces and then touch your eyes, mouth, and/or nose. 

The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has stated:

“There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.” 

In fact, Covid-19 has not been detected in even regular Municipal tap drinking water, let alone a properly chlorinated and disinfected pool. As long as proper filtration and disinfection is used, your pool water and drinking water should be safe.

Parents can fill the tub and get into it with their child where they can promote their comfort in the water and help them to do exercises that will get them used to the water and therefore, raise their comfort level when they finally get into the pool. Just remember to do these activities before any soap is put in the water.

1. Submerging the head.
This introduces children to the sensation of wetness: how the water feels as it trickles down their faces. Begin with trickling the water before moving on to immersing the entire head.

2. Learning to float without help.
Guide them to lay on the back and gently hold them in the floating position from underneath to help them relax. As they become comfortable, gently release them so that they are floating with no assistance from you at all.

3. Blowing bubbles in the water.
Some children learn this easily by simply showing them how to do it. Others need to make a game of it. Add making noises to blowing bubbles or challenge them to blow a ping pong ball across the water. These games will help children to see how easy blowing bubbles is.

4. Using special items (such as towels) in their bath routine in the same ways that they would use them in their pool routine.
For example, items – such as special towels will help to get children excited (and more comfortable) about going to the pool and using their towels around the pool.

5. Practicing with goggles in the tub.
It often takes children a minute or two to get the hang of goggles. Those few minutes of insecurity can easily take place in the tub instead of the pool.

6. Teaching swim language.
Children’s confidence will soar when they see that they know the special words that are used in the pool. The tub is perfect for teaching and reviewing what words such as “splash” and “kick” represent in the pool.

7. Including toys that encourage interaction.
“Manipulatives” such as bath toys or household sponges, help children practice motor skills while in the water. As a result, they will move their limbs more freely in the pool.

Tub Tips: Make sure the temperature of the water is comfortably warm for babies or toddlers and that children are never unsupervised while in the water. Make sure that you do not have soap in the water while practicing.
