Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death in children ages 1–4, and I never want finances to stand in the way of your child learning these life-saving skills.

From June through August, lessons are held at a private home pool in Montclair. From October through May, lessons move indoors to a heated hotel pool in Dumfries, VA, ensuring year-round consistency and comfort for your child.

Lessons are 10 minutes per day, 4 consecutive days a week (Monday–Thursday) for approximately 6 weeks. This consistency is key to helping children learn and retain their skills, so it’s very important that your child attends each scheduled lesson.

The reason for this is multifaceted. First, repetition and consistency are crucial elements of learning for young children. Research shows that short, more frequent lessons result in higher retention. Second, most children have fairly short attention spans and will not be able to focus on the task for longer and we want to take advantage of the best time for learning. A third reason is that, though the pool temperature is maintained at 78-88 degrees, the temperature is still lower than your child's body temperature. Lessons are work and therefore will also be losing body heat. Instructors check students regularly for temperature fatigue since this is an indicator of physical fatigue.
