A:The minimum age is 10 years old, with limits.

A: YES!!! We always want you to come back and get in the pool before a trip. Set up your gear and adjust your weights or just work on skills. There is no charge to our students.
Q: If I am unable to make it to class Can I reschedule?
A: YES, we will reschedule for you twice, But there are no refunds on your class if you cancel.
