The best progress and retention of skills comes with practice. Most children should stay in some form of personalized programming over extended breaks from the pool. After your session, your instructor should inform you of what they think is best for your child. As the child grows, the amount of practice needed will DECREASE. If your child is under 4, they should be participating in something every 2-4 months.

Please feel free to utilize both instructor’s scheduling availability to suit your family’s needs.

A Class pack offers an opportunity to purchase multiple maintenance classes at once to schedule as you go. They offer an additional 5th lesson as a bonus bc you are committing to use them in a short time frame, usually 6-7 weeks. Maintenance Discounts are still subject to the 24-30 lesson limit set forth by CAST in a calendar year.

Miss Nikki’s Class packs can be purchased online. Please contact Miss Leann separately to purchase with her. Class packs cannot be used between both instructors.
