Use either booking calendar to choose your times.

Two Student Prices

Adding a second student is only 10$ more per 30 minute lesson. (55$ for One, 65$ for two)

​​

Which Students can be Taught Together?

If both students ARE ready for the Deep End, or both are NOT, it's fine.

​

The problem happens when one is ready, and one isn't. In this case, it's not safe to take them to the deep end, and I can not teach the more advanced student the skills they need.

​​​

Switching from 2 Student to 1 Student

Sometimes I will recomend teaching the students separately. This is usually when one student is 3-4 years old and the other is 5+ and a rare few times when the kids disrupt each other too much. What I can do is refund or credit the extra 10$/lesson for the remaining lessons.

​​​

Rotating Times

If two separate students are taught back-to-back, usually for 1 hour, I often recomend one is taught for 20 minutes separately, then both for 20 minutes, and then the other for 20 minutes separately. Some skills are taught in the shallow end and there is no reason they can't both be doing that together. This pattern gives them 40 minutes each and lets me teach each one skills specific to them. (I only charge for single lessons when doing this.)

​​

Three Students

One trick I've done for some parents with 3 kids is blocks of 20 minute lessons for an hour, teaching 2 students at a time. (This would be priced as 2 students and there would be 2 students in the water at all times.)
