Frequently Asked Questions

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 4,500 people drown each year in the United States. That is an average of 11 drowning deaths per day.  Water Safety and the the teaching of life skills such as swimming is important in helping change these statistics. Each child deserves the right to learn how to swim. 

We welcome swimmers starting at age 4 through our Mini Waves Lessons for preschool toddlers. It’s the perfect introduction to water safety, confidence, and comfort for our 1st time swimmers. 

All group lessons are 30 minutes, while private lessons may range from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the skill level. 

We offer lessons year-round, at Masters school in Dobbs Ferry, NY. We do offer group & private lessons, clinics, intensives, and Water Safety Presentations throughout the year. We host lessons on Saturdays and Sundays. 

Our monthly rate is $150, which includes 4 swim lessons. In months affected by pool scheduling or holidays, the number of lessons may vary, and pricing will be prorated accordingly based on the number of lessons offered. We also have single and double classes available for those families that need flexibility. 

We do not offer makeup lessons for absences due to personal reasons. However, if you reach out in advance, we’ll do our best to accommodate a makeup class based on class availability. You will only be allowed one make up session per month and it may not be carried over into the next month.
