Pool Questions
What temperature must water be at?
For teaching we strongly recommend the water be at a minimum of 78 degrees for comfort of students. 
We do not have private pool facilities. We offer private lessons at your pool or community pool and our instructors come to your location. 
Not maintaining our own pool provides better rates, a better comfortable environment in your local area and improved progress for students since we focus on lessons that are suited to them precisely versus generic group instruction which doesn’t allow them to progress. Private lessons allow students to learn more sooner and to focus on both their strengths and weaknesses with each an every lesson. If you like we will offer practice/homework for in between lesson if you’re inclined. Teaching may also be limited to the lessons themselves. Students who are able to practice the skills they learned will progress faster and also retain more of what they learned through repetition. 


Your pool must be at least 78 degrees to teach comfortably. If it’s not we may need to take a break mid-lessons and can do some instruction pool side. The pool side instruction will count as part of the lesson time. The water should to be warm enough for students to feel comfortable and complete their lessons. Depending on your location, using surface devices like solar rings or covers can effectively heat your pool. If there isn't enough sunlight to reach a comfortable temperature, it might be necessary to find another location for the lessons.

We do recommend Swimply as an alternative option. All fees for pool use will be paid by student prior to teaching.
