Group Lesson FAQs

There must be three children registered in a class – if 2 or fewer we will work to merge classes together or we will need to cancel the class. We try to keep the classes to ensure having at most a 4:1 Athlete – Instructor Ratio.

Instructors will ask each child to perform specific skills on the first day of class to ensure their proper placement in the class – if any major adjustments are needed we will discuss them with the parent. Our goal is to have children with similar swimming skills in the same class, although they may not necessarily be the same age.

Use the Tuckahoe group lesson descriptions to determine skills they may already have if any. When children are ready to advance to the next level, coaches will make that recommendation, otherwise, they should be registered for the same class next session.

No refunds are given after the first class of the current session. If we are forced to cancel a class because the club is closed we will work to provide a make-up class or possibly offer refunds pro-rata.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to maximize our time in the water. Nonmembers may only enter the facility with one family member accompanying the child onto the pool deck – the front desk will turn away additional family members.

Athletes should wear a proper bathing suit and bring a pair of goggles to use every class. Athletes with longer hair may enjoy using a swim cap but it is not required.
