Yes. Appropriate swimwear is required—such as one-piece swimsuits for women or swim trunks for men (not beachwear). 

I recommend bringing your own swim gear. However, I have some items available to get you started. We can discuss the exact gear you’ll need during the initial phone assessment and after our first lesson, once I’ve assessed your skills. 

Yes, I offer adaptive swimming lessons tailored to the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. 

Yes, I offer lessons for families of 3 or 4 people. Please contact me for pricing.

I understand that emergencies happen, so I offer a flexible cancellation policy.

• Cancel at least 1 hour in advance: No fee. 
• Cancel less than 1 hour in advance: 50% cancellation fee.
• Cancel twice in a row: Your reserved spot may be given to someone else.
• Rebooking after two cancellations: 100% prepayment will be required.

• Late by less than 15 minutes: If neither of us is in a rush, I’ll extend the lesson to the full time at no extra cost. If one of us has time constraints, the lesson will be shortened accordingly.
• Late by more than 15 minutes: A fee will apply if you want to extend the lesson to the full time.
• No-show without notice: A no-show fee of 100% of the lesson cost will apply.

You can pay by cash or e-transfer before or after the lesson. I also offer advance payment options for multiple lessons.
