Group Swim Lesson Frequently Asked Questions

 If you can’t find the answer to your question, please reach out
by calling 360-675-7665 and dial "0" to speak with a Client Service Specialist.

 Classes are offered year-round with seasonal schedules:

  • September through June: Classes are held on Monday & Wednesday evenings, Tuesday & Thursday mornings, and on Saturdays (in select months).
     
  • July through August: Classes run in two-week sessions, Monday through Thursday, with morning and evening options.


 Each session typically includes eight classes. 


Class fees typically range from $120 to $184, depending on class length and whether the participant is a resident or non-resident. 


Registration is available through our online registration portal. All level one class sessions, except for the two summer months, are available online. Registration for higher levels opens on the last day of each session. 


Please review the class descriptions available on our website or registration portal.
If you're still unsure, you can schedule a swim test with our Swim Lesson Coordinator.
If your child is placed in a class and it becomes clear that the level is not a good fit, we will do our best to move them to a more appropriate level based on availability. 


 December sessions are typically pro-rated due to fewer class days. 


Yes, you may be able to register if there is space available and only one class has been missed. Check the registration portal or contact our front desk for availability. 


Yes, we do offer a waitlist. However, we recommend registering for the next available session, as space on the waitlist is not guaranteed to open. 


Our sessions are offered on either Mondays and Wednesdays or Monday through Thursday. You may be able to switch classes prior to the start of the session, depending on availability. Switching days is not an option once the session has started. 


There may be limited availability to switch class times within a session if alternate time slots are offered.


If a class is scheduled on a day we are closed for a holiday, it will not be held. In such cases, the session fee will be prorated accordingly. If we remain open, classes will run as scheduled. Please refer to the list below for our observed holidays. 


We do not generally offer makeup classes. Any makeup opportunities would be at the discretion of the instructor and dependent on availability. 


  • Swimsuit & Towel: Comfortable swimwear and a towel to dry off. 
  • Swim Cap (Optional): Not required, but long hair should be tied back. 
  • Goggles (Optional): Helpful for beginners to keep chlorine out of the eyes. 
  • Bag with Essentials: Include shower supplies, water, and a light snack if needed. 
  • Swim Diaper: Required for children who are not potty trained. 
  • Warm Hat: Useful for staying warm when leaving the pool in the PNW .


An adult is required to be in the water for adult-child classes. No parent is required for Preschool and Learn-to-Swim levels. 


You are welcome to sit on the bleachers or in the viewing room during lessons. Please keep the walkways clear to ensure they are accessible for any emergencies. 


A 100% Refund/Credit will be made when the activity is cancelled by the North Whidbey Pool, Park, and Recreation District.

Patrons may receive a monetary refund, credit, or program transfer through to the first lesson. Prorated credit may be given for program transfers or with a physician's written medical verification in the case that the swimmer is unable to participate for medical reasons. Patrons are required to complete a Refund/Credit/Transfer Request Form and receive approval from the NWPPRD Executive Director before a refund check or credit will be processed. All refunds will be charged a $5.00 administrative processing fee unless waived by the Executive Director. 


Please notify your instructor, and if you believe you are eligible for a refund, kindly complete a Refund/Credit Request Form available at the front desk.

After you visit the locker room to change and rinse off, you will meet your instructor outside of the locker rooms, near the double doors. 


Our instructors do a skills exit assessment prior to the last class of each session. You will receive a report card at the final lesson with information on the appropriate level placement for the next session. 


You will meet your child in the same area where you dropped them off, near the double doors. 


If the school district announces a snow day early in the day and weather conditions are expected to remain unsafe, the pool will be closed and no swim lessons will be held.

Private Swim Lesson Frequently Asked Questions

 If you can’t find the answer to your question, please reach out.
by calling 360-675-7665 and dial "0" to speak with a Client Service Specialist.

Private lessons can include up to two swimmers of similar skill level.  


 Lessons can be short-term or ongoing, depending on the swimmer’s goals and instructor availability.  


 Progress varies by swimmer and depends on individual goals, comfort level, and practice outside of lessons.  


If there are fewer than two swimmers enrolled, you may join your child. However, please allow the instructor to lead the session.   


Please contact the front desk and email the Swim Lesson Coordinator at least two hours in advance to reschedule.  


Yes. Goggles are recommended but should not cover the nose, as this can interfere with certain swimming skills at higher levels.  


Yes, but private lessons are currently offered in 30-minute time blocks per package.  


Each package includes four 30-minute lessons.   


Yes, though you must be assigned to an instructor before purchasing multiple packages.  


 Private lesson times depend on instructor availability and pool space.  


Instructors can provide a skill breakdown and level recommendation upon request.  


This varies by swimmer. Regular practice outside of lessons encourages the reinforcement of skills.
