I wish I could give an answer. But this answer is individual just as I teach every person individually. Timing depends on what your goals are and many factors which I’d enjoy discussing with you. Schedule a free phone consultation and I can provide a more specific answer.

Past experiences and emotions such as fear and confidence, body and breath awareness, quality of instruction and communication, consistency of learning and repetition outside of lessons, and positive encouragement influence progress.

Goals often progress as your water ability does. Goals can be safety around water, safety in shallow, deep, or open water like a lake or ocean, comfort while floating, kicking, or treading water, learning or advancing skills in a swimming stroke, to name several of many. Don’t forget the fun goals with family, friends, colleagues, and kids such as more happiness and engagement during pool parties and dive-in movies, boating and jet-skiing, kayaking and canoeing, paddle boarding and sailing, and more!

My goal every lesson is building your trust with me to then grow joy with water that augments progress.

WaterWise has several locations and can potentially come to a pool you provide (contact info above). Click on Quick Booking to check the days I provide at each location including Dallas - Old Lake Highlands, Bluffview, and Pleasant Grove, Irving, and Arlington.

Typically 9am-12pm and 1:00-4:00pm on Wednesday to Saturday and 8:00-10:00am and 2:00-6:00pm on Sunday. Reach out (contact info above) if you need a different time and we will.

45 minutes for adults and 30 minutes for youth and adaptive. You can add 15 minutes on the Quick Booking page. I give a page updated each lesson with what to practice between lessons.

You are given until 48 hours prior to your lesson to cancel with a refund and 8 hours prior to reschedule. For 2 lessons, you are given until 2 hours prior to your lesson to reschedule. WaterWise understands that schedules change particularly for adults with work and children. Rescheduling due to inclement weather and documented medical illness are not charged.

A swimsuit and towel are the most critical. I recommend a swim cap and goggles. A swim rash guard shirt is beneficial for UPF and UV sun and physical skin protection plus thermal regulation. Let’s chat (contact info above) so I can recommend the best of each for you. WaterWise provides what else we need. You get to take the WaterWise floating pool noodle home with you!

Yes. Check out the Quick Booking to see Youth private and small group and Adult small group classes. Each customers purchases a lesson or lesson package.
