Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Is membership required to enroll in swim lessons?

An active club-accessing Life Time junior membership is required for kids swim lessons.

Is there a multiple child discount?

For members enrolling multiple children in swim lessons, all children after the first child enrolled will receive a 25% discount on the lesson cost.

Can you do more than one swim lesson per week? Multiple lessons per week?

We do offer the option to participate in multiple swim lessons per week. We have this option for group, semi-private and private lessons.

Can a non-member bring my children to their swim lessons?

Yes. The Parent/Legal Guardian Permission Agreement must be completed to allow a non-member to bring a junior member to swim lessons. The non-member would have access to the aquatics area only and would not have access to the rest of the club. If the same non-member will be bringing the child to swim lessons frequently, a membership is recommended for an enhanced check-in process and in-club experience.

Are the swim lessons indoor or outdoor?

Most kids swim lessons take place within our indoor pools. However, lessons may be held in the outdoor pool in certain locations (weather dependent).
