Lesson Types

We have several types of lessons.

  • Single slot lesson: One on one instruction for ages 2 and a half and over for a 15 minute lesson slot.
  • Double slot lesson: One on one instruction for ages 2 and a half and over for 30 minutes, or for two children to share back to back 15 minute lessons. Great for siblings to share the time. There is always only one child in the water with the instructor at a time.
  • Triple slot lesson: 2 or 3 children can split for back to back individual one on one instruction for 45 minutes. Great for siblings to share the time. There is always only one child in the water with the instructor at a time. We do not teach 45 minute lessons for one child.
  • 15 minute Littlest Fish Beginning Bubbles Lessons: For our youngest swimmers. These lessons are for little ones 6 months to 2.5 years with a caregiver in the water. The sessions are one-on-one with the instructor, and focus on building comfort in the water and introducing early swim skills and water safety.
  • 30 minute Littlest Fish Beginning Bubbles Lessons: For our youngest swimmers. These lessons are for little ones 6 months to 2.5 years with a caregiver in the water. The sessions are one-on-one with the instructor, and focus on building comfort in the water and introducing early swim skills and water safety.

Our “Littlest Fish” Beginning Bubbles classes are for swimmers aged 6 months to 2.5 years with a caregiver in the water. Our regular lessons are for swimmers aged 2.5 to adults.

We recommend adult goggles for swimmers over the age of 3 and child-sized goggles for those under 3.

Each lesson is booked individually through our booking system on our website or through our mobile phone app. If you can't find a time that works for you, definitely check back the calendar. Families cancel and reschedule all the time, so the calendar is always changing. The EASIEST way to book is through our Little Fish mobile app from Wellness Living. Find it in your App Store!

Policies

Little Fish Swim School offers unlimited scheduling/rescheduling/canceling with more than 24 hours notice. When you book a lesson we reserve that slot just for you and we incur pool costs and instructor fees for each lesson booked that can not be recovered if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice. As a small business, we ask that you do your best to give us as much notice as possible to enable us to fill your slot. A cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will be forfeited and can not be refunded.

Please note: There are no make-up lessons for Late Cancels or No Shows. If you Late Cancel your lesson or do not show up, you will automatically lose that lesson, no exceptions. Late Cancellations (made with 24 hours notice or less) will be charged full price. No shows are charged full price.

Swim intensives can be cancelled up to 2 weeks prior to the session and the cost of the intensive can be transferred to regular one-on-one lesson credits or rescheduled to another session. Cancellations within 2 weeks or less of the session start date can only be rescheduled or transferred to lesson credits if a spot can be filled from the waiting lists. Cancellation requests for credit must be made in writing by emailing us at littlefishswimschoolcalifornia@gmail.com. No rescheduling or makeups offered for missed lessons due to the one-on-one nature of the daily intensives. Swim intensives are non refundable.

If the AQI for our neighborhood is above 150 within the hour of your lesson, we will cancel for everyone's safety. The credit for the lesson will be banked in your Little Fish Account and can be used to book a lesson at a different time that works for you. We do not offer refunds.

If thunder or lightning is detected, both instructor and families will vacate the pool area and wait inside for 15 minutes from the last occurrence. Please reach out if your lesson is affected by this weather and we will bank your credit to be used for booking another lesson. We do not offer refunds.

Our lessons expire one year after purchase. However, we can update expiration dates if you have trouble scheduling or rescheduling lessons. Reach out any time and we'll help you extend.

You can sit in the pool area if everyone can sit quietly on the bench in the viewing area. We do recommend family members give extra space for our extra anxious swimmers. You are also welcome to wait in the changing room, where there is a window for you to watch the lesson. We aim to keep distractions down for our lessons. Please come back at the end of a lesson for the instructor to show you what your child is working on.

Lessons are connection based. Our instructors use the entire pool with each child and go under water with them for maximum connection and assessment of skills, so we only have one swimmer in the water with the instructor at a time. (Siblings can share a double or triple slot for back-to-back individual time.)

Not during standard swim lessons. A caretaker is in the water during our Littlest Fish Beginning Bubbles lessons.
