THE LITTLE FISH SWIM SCHOOL
"COME LEARN TO LOVE THE WATER!"
​

IN LIGHT OF GOV INSLEE'S LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT
WE ARE OPEN FOR LESSONS WITH CONTINUED INCREASED SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Please see below for COVID 19 Pandemic Safety Guidelines
In an effort to minimize risk and follow CDC and state/county guidelines, we have put a variety of safeguards in place:  
​
  • Parents will be required to wear masks for the duration of their time on site, and will need to watch swim lessons from outside the greenhouse gate.  Children should wear masks when not in the water.

  • The instructor will be performing no touch temperature checks when each child gets in the water.
  • Instructors will do all they can to "social distance" with swimmers who are comfortable in the water on their own, and give instruction from afar.

  • Instructors will be wearing face shields in the water.

  • We have increased cleaning and chlorinating protocols so as to further mitigate risk inside the water. 
  •  
  • The waiting room/changing room has been fitted with an air purifier for one family to use at a time.  Families are asked to wear masks at all times. 

  • The outdoor changing tent remains available for those who do not want to use the facilities inside.

  • Our 24 hour cancelation policy will be voided for any swimmer showing symptoms on the day of their lesson.  Please contact Emily or Jesi to process these last minute cancellations so as to keep your credits.

  • It is our strongest priority to keep folks safe as we navigate opening and following state and CDC guidelines.  If at any point, you would rather cancel your lessons and either bank them for later use, or receive a refund, please reach out to Emily or Jesi and we will help process your request.

If you'd like to join us, but are not ready for lessons, feel free to sign up for a 50 minute Solo Family swim!  We will have hours open throughout the summer for folks to enjoy the pool and practice on their own.

Thank you SO much for swimming with us and we look forward to seeing you in the water.

ABOUT OUR METHODS:

Our intuitive approach to the developmental process of learning to swim focuses primarily on trust and safety.  Once a child begins to feel comfortable in the water they will start to challenge themselves.  My years of experience working with children both in and out of the pool have taught me the gift and skill of guiding children through this sensitive and empowering process.  My natural technique helps children feel comfortable with their bodies in the water and begin to explore. 

I use a variety of toys and games I have developed over the twenty years I've been teaching, to keep kiddos excited and intrigued.  The lessons are predictable and repetitive to help nervous swimmers feel comfortable and explore their presence in the water.

We wear goggles to help feel the most comfortable going underwater.  Once comfortable with goggles on, we practice with them off on occasion, for safety sake.  I recommend adult Speedo goggles for any child over the age of 3 and child sized goggles for children under 3.

These ones are our favorites:

Parents are not in the water with the child, and our best work is done with parents on the outside of the enclosed pool area. Parents who are accompanied by more than one child or those with particularly nervous swimmers are encouraged to watch from the lesson cam in the waiting room.  There is also a bench in the enclosure for adults only who wish to quietly observe their child's lesson. If you are looking for a parent participation class, please feel to ask, we have some wonderful classes to recommend at other locations.

These private lessons are best to start when your child is at least 2 and a half to 3 years old- depending on temperament.

We work with older children and adults as well, who are looking to improve their stroke technique or competitive edge!
