Book a free in water assessment!
Free In Water Assessment:
Before we can place you in a class, we will conduct a free consultation call and an in water assessment, which will take about 15 minutes. Come prepared with a towel, swim suit, and goggles (preferably not a snorkel mask). A few things to keep in mind for your assessment depending on the age of the student:
If the swimmer wears diapers, they must be double diapered per pool rules
If the swimmer is under age 3, parents/guardians must be in the water for the assessment and the lessons
A parent or guardian must remain on deck if the student is a minor
Adults (16+) just starting out or focusing on technique, please be prepared to talk about your goals and what lead you to swimming
Triathletes may bring information regarding your current swim times, struggles, successes, and any questions you may have about swimming distance events
Most lessons and in water assessments will take place at Draper Recreation Center. I am an independent business, so please contact me directly if you have any questions!
If ou will need to pay the Rec Center entry fee for your in water assessment, but the entry will be included in the cost of your class once you begin lessons.
Once you have booked and completed a free assessment, you will receive access to my booking calendar.
If you have a home pool, we can also conduct lessons there. There is a travel fee of $1 per mile assessed based on your distance from my office in Sugarhouse.
