After witnessing a near drowning experience of a young girl and have literally having to go in amd save her I said to myself I have to find an excellent swimming class for my son. Since then I've been searching for a really good swimming school that really teaches your child "real swimming" and this school really does that. They are very thorough and I can see such a big difference in my child swimming capabilities after such a few short months. I am much more comfortable bringing my son to large bodies of water. Definitely will be back for the upcoming semester.

Who Is This For?

Swimming combines heart-healthy aerobic exercise with full-body training. Supported by the American Heart Association, it enhances overall well-being and quality of life.

 

Beyond being a vital safety skill, swimming is one of the most effective workouts. That’s why we promote year-round lessons—to keep students active, confident, and water-safe through our progressive curriculum that inspires health, growth, and even competitive goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I take swim lessons year-round?

Swimming isn’t just about safety—it’s one of the best forms of exercise. The American Heart Association notes that regular physical activity boosts overall health and quality of life. Year-round swim lessons keep students active, build confidence, and strengthen water-safety skills. With our progressive curriculum, each swimmer is motivated to stay healthy and inspired to join a competitive team.

When can I sign up for lessons?

Anytime!

 

A $35.00, annual, non-refundable registration fee is due at sign-up. This fee will cover all administrative changes needed to maintain a family’s account for 12 months. All new students receive a swim cap prior to their first class. If you enter the program in November or December, your registration fee will roll over for the following calendar year.

Monthly Registration

Tuition is billed monthly and is based on the calendar month. The prices are adjusted to reflect how many lessons your student receives when there are extra weeks or holidays in the month, as shown below.

 

Tuition per lesson

Example: JJAY College Location

Monthly: $55 – 30 min class
Monthly: $74 – 60 min class | Only available in INT, ADV, & Adult Levels
Private: $165 – 30 min class

 

Please note: Tuition is adjusted and pre-paid on a monthly basis. Payments will be withdrawn from your autopay account on the 1st of every month.

 

Understanding Price Adjustments

Example: JJAY College Location

 

Price of lesson x # of scheduled lessons in the month = monthly cost

Students enrolled in our program attend the same class and day every week. Based on this calendar example, students enrolled in:

 

  • Monday classes will pay a tuition of $220.00 for 4 classes
  • Wednesday classes will pay a tuition of $275.00 for 5 classes
  • Saturday classes will pay a tuition of $165.00 for 3 classes due to a holiday closure from the 23rd to the 26th

 

All enrollments receive 1 makeup token a month after an absence request is submitted through the App or Member Portal. Medical certificates are required if the time condition cannot be met, and makeup lessons must be used within each calendar year. Makeup tokens are neither refundable nor transferable, a make-up lesson can only be booked once. A missed make-up lesson is forfeited.

How do I register for lessons?

Contact us if you’re unsure of what level to choose for yourself/or child. A coach will connect with you within 1-2 days to discuss and confirm availability based on the student’s needs and experience.

 

Once registered, create an account in our Login/Class Portal where credit/debit card information is required to allow access to request enrollment. You’ll have access to attendance records, skill evaluations, class transfer requests, makeup tokens and upcoming class schedules for the next semester.

 

How do I pay for lessons?

After creating an account, a card must be saved for autopay. The first two months and any remaining classes in that month are due at enrollment. Monthly tuition is automatically charged on the 1st of each month. Credits are issued for holidays or pool closures.

 

Classes can be canceled anytime with a drop request submitted before the last day of the month. No refunds are given for remaining classes, but makeup tokens may be issued with a doctor’s note.

 

We offer credits (not refunds) for unused lessons; credits expire one year from issue and can be shared within the family. A $30 fee applies to declined cards.

Why do you charge in advance?

Your payment reserves your enrollment with Splash Fit Swim Club and ensures that the student has a spot in their class. Learning to swim takes time because it is so unnatural for humans, before cancelling your classes, we recommend you or your child take a minimum of  12 lessons to see true progress! 

 

Due to high demand and an extensive waiting list, payments must be submitted prior to start date in order to lock in the student’s spot.

How can I cancel my classes?

Members may cancel anytime by submitting a drop request before the last day of the previous month. We do not offer refunds, but credits for unused lessons are valid for one year and can be shared within the family.

Do you offer a trail class?

Yes! If you decide to continue with classes, the trail class is billed as the first initial class. Otherwise, you aren’t obligated to continue classes or make any payments.

What if my child needs to miss a class?

Although the student’s spot is reserved, requesting a future absence is required in order to receive a makeup class. This allows us to plan accordingly and offer drop-in or makeup classes to other students.

 

Please note that all students, including privates, are only eligible for group make-ups.

Do you offer make-ups for missed swim lessons?

Each enrollment includes 1 makeup lesson per month. Makeup tokens are issued only if an absence is reported at least 24 hours in advance through the Splash Fit App or Customer Portal.

 

Important details:

 

  • Tokens can’t be exchanged for credits, refunds, or shared.

  • Valid only with an active membership and expire after one year.

  • Missed classes do not qualify for extra makeups, prorated tuition, or refunds.

  • Makeups are for true emergencies only and not offered for missed makeups.

  • Students are charged until a formal cancellation is submitted (verbal notice doesn’t count).

 

All students, including privates, are eligible for group makeups only. Regular attendance ensures the best learning experience.

What should I bring to swim class?

Splash Fit provides all learning equipment (kickboards, fins, noodles, etc.). Please bring a swimsuit, goggles, towel, clean sandals, and a lock for your belongings.

 

Swimmers must wear proper swim attire—no underwear under suits. Goggles are required for ages 4+. Children under 3 or not potty-trained must wear a swim diaper. No gum, jewelry, or loose hair; hair should be secured in a swim cap.

 

Splash Fit is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Label belongings and keep them secured at all times.

What happens if a student is less or more advanced than the other students in his or her class?

Our coaches notice skill differences quickly during class/practice and are aware of the abilities that the swimmer needs to either remain in the initial class/practice or be placed at another level.

 

Evaluations and skill assessments are held every 5 weeks.

Do I need to change classes when my child changes levels?

Yes! If the availability allows, class options at the initial class time may be available. If not, we’ll work with you to find a new day and time that fits your schedule.

What if my child’s group class only has one or two students?

While this is not common, absences from other students can result to lower class ratios and possibly even a 1 on 1 experience.

Can I request my child’s lessons to be taught by his or her favorite teacher?

While specific coaches aren’t guaranteed, we do our best to honor requests and match your child with their preferred instructor. Feel free to speak with a coach for more details.
