Questions you might have…
+ When are Summer Swim Classes?
Summer Swim Classes start on April 3rd, 2023 and continue through October 1st, 2023.
+ Do I need to have a pool to take swim classes?.. And what kind of pools work?
Yes, you do. Sun Rays Swim Academy is a private swim instruction business that travels to your location! Our instructors travel all across Los Angeles County. Types of pools that we are allowed to instruct in include: your home pool, a family or friends home pool, or a community pool/apartment building pool you have access to. We are not allowed to provide lessons in other swim business facilities or pools you do not have access to.
+ How often should the lessons be a week?
We recommend, classes should be as often as 2-3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each lesson. We want your child to be water safe as soon as possible. With 2-3 lessons a week, your child will learn new concepts and apply them consistently until it becomes muscle memory. We never recommend one lesson a week when they are learning how to swim because the concepts learned are almost forgotten by the next lesson.
+ How many lessons until my child is water safe?
While every child is different, we strive to see our students water safe by the 16th-24th lesson. This is a rough estimate based on our experience. Although we will not push your child past what they are comfortable with, we always encourage them to try their best and never give up. Our instructors make it a priority to meet them where they are at. Our goal is that every child reaches level 3; at level 3 they are completely water safe and you can feel confident with their abilities in the water.
+ How early can my child start taking classes with Sun Rays Swim Academy?
We start our Mommy & Mee classes at 2 years old. We want them to be aware of the water and confortable with the water so that it's an easier adjustment into the individual swim classes when they turn 4 . For our youngest age group (ages 2-3) we focus our efforts on survival techniques like floating on their back and holding their breath with the parent/guardian in the water.
