Frequently Asked Questions

Q. If my child is placed into a certain level within a group at the time of evaluation, yet demonstrates skills to move up a level or group, does he/she need to wait until the next registration session to move up?

A. No. Once an instructor sees the necessary skills to move up a level or group, they will let you know right away that it is time to move up.

Q. What is the average temperature of the water at the Hommocks Pool?

A. Typically, it is kept around 83 degrees. If any child finds the pool to be cold, they are welcome to wear a surf shirt or wetsuit.

Q. Do you offer Private Lessons?

A. At this time, we no longer offer private lessons. Our ratios are 4:1 for Pre-team swimmers and 6:1 for developmental swimmers in our group lessons.

Q. If my child misses a swim lesson, can he/she do a make up class?

A. Due to our swimmer to instructor ratios, it is difficult to accommodate make up’s on days that swimmers are not registered for.
