Frequently Asked Questions

  • When Can My Child Start Lessons?

    Our program offers continuous enrollment, meaning your child can start at any time—no need to wait for a new session.


    What This Means:

    • Your child attends the same class each week at their scheduled time.
    • No need to re-enroll every month—your spot is saved.
    • You can join any time of the year and progress at your child’s pace.

  • How Do I Cancel My Lessons?

    If you need to pause or cancel, submit your request by the last day of the month. Click here to request a cancellation.

  • What If I Paid for the Whole Month But Need to Cancel?

    While we don’t offer refunds, we’re happy to credit your Swimming Safari account for any future classes. Life happens, and we want to make it easy for you to keep learning and swimming, so any classes missed can be redeemed as make up tokens.

  • How Many Make-Up Classes Do We Get?

    Each swimmer gets one makeup class per month per weekly enrollment, with the token for the first missed class automatically added to your account. There’s no need to notify us ahead of time if your swimmer won’t attend a class, but you can report future absences in the parent portal. You have 60 days to schedule your makeup. If you expect to miss more classes, just let us know; we’re happy to consider exceptions! Please note that Speed Week and Swim Team programs do not allow makeups.

  • What If My Child Is Sick or We’re Traveling?

    No worries! If your child misses a class, the makeup token for the first missed class of the month will be added automatically to your account, no need to tell us beforehand. You can reschedule makeups anytime after the missed class through the parent portal on our app. If you know in advance about future absences, feel free to report them there too. Life happens, and we want to make it easy for your swimmer to catch up when they’re ready.

Safety & Progression

  • When Should My Child Start Swim Lessons?

    It’s never too early to build water safety skills.

    • Lessons start as young as 3 months (with a parent/guardian in the pool).
    • Younger children adapt to water more quickly and build strong foundational skills.
    • Research shows that swim lessons reduce drowning risk by 88% in children ages 1-4.

  • How Will I Know When My Child is Ready to Move Up?

    Our instructors regularly assess progress. When your child is ready to advance, our deck staff will evaluate them and notify you.


    • You’ll receive an email and a move-up sticker to celebrate their achievement.

  • What Should We Bring to Swim Class?

    • Swimsuit and towel
    • Hair ties or swim caps for long hair
    • Reusable swim diaper (required for children under 3 years, 6 months)
    • Optional: Goggles (please label them with your child’s name)

Weather & Lesson Cancellations

  • What If There’s Bad Weather?

    • Our weather protection system allows lessons to continue as long as conditions are safe.
    • If we must cancel, we’ll notify you by phone, text, or email as soon as possible.
    • Assume class is on unless you hear otherwise. If your class is canceled, you’ll be eligible for a credit or make-up class.

Supporting Your Child’s Learning

  • How Long Will It Take My Child to Learn to Swim?

    Every child learns at their own pace. Consistency is key.


    • Regular lessons and family practice help children progress faster.
    • Encouragement and positive reinforcement build confidence.
    • If you have questions about skills or practice tips, our staff is happy to help.

  • How Can I Help My Child Progress?

    • Practice at home and make swimming fun.
    • Praise their efforts to boost confidence.
    • Stay consistent—regular attendance makes a big difference.

Extra Perks & Programs

  • Do You Have a Referral Program?

    Yes! If you refer a family and they mention your name at sign-up, you’ll be entered to win a free month of swim lessons.


  • Why Is Learning to Swim So Important?

    Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1-4 in Florida.


    • 65% of drownings happen in family pools.
    • 77% of children were missing for less than five minutes.
    • Swim lessons reduce drowning risk by 88% for ages 1-4.
