We do not offer make-up classes for missed lessons.

This ensures that all participants receive adequate time and attention from their instructor. Please keep this in mind when registering for sessions.

All lessons are held in the indoor Rec Center pool and are only impacted by severe tropical weather, such as tropical storms, hurricanes, or tornado warnings. Unlike pools with outdoor pump rooms, our pump room is located inside the Rec Center, ensuring it is safe and unaffected by typical weather conditions.
