Registration for Session II - Evenings with Trent opens this week!

 The final class for Session I will be this Wednesday.  Current students will learn of their recommended level for Session II that night and be able to secure their spot in Session II if they wish.  Thursday registration will open for any others.

Free placement testing is available after Wednesday's class at 8:45 p.m.  If you haven't already received placement testing this season, we recommend you do so prior to Thursday as any open spots will go fast.

See you soon!

Summer 2020 Season Coming to a Close

Thank you for your interest in Little Flippers Swim Academy.   Because we recommend a minimum of 6 lessons so that our students have the time needed to become comfortable with and/or master applicable skills, we are no longer scheduling for summer 2020.

If you would like to be contacted when we have our 2021 Swim Schedule Available, please complete the 2021 Swim Season Registration Form. 

We have loved teaching our students to be safe in the water and have watched many go on to swim in local swim teams with out kids.  Have a safe school year and we look forward to seeing you in the future!

Thank you for your interest in Little Flippers.  After a delay in getting our day instructor certified, Lexi has just completed her Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Training and begun teaching.

We have filled up our time slots between 8 and 10 am with the exception of dates when students are out of town.

Please email us at littleflippersswimacadey@gmail.com if you are interested in filling in these open dates.

Evening lessons are now full. Day times still on hold.

Our evening classes have filled up for anyone I have not talked to or confirmed placement.

We are still hoping that our day instructor will be able to get certified within the next 2-3 weeks, but can't schedule until we know that the class is a go.

Please proceed to the 2020 registration link (on Registration tab) if you are interested in day lessons weekday mornings.  It is anticipated that they will be offered Monday - Thursday between 8 and 11 am.

Summer 2020 Swim Season - And how the Pandemic will change things

May is almost half over and I am just getting a handle on what we will be offering for swim in 2020.

For the last 3 summers, Kenzi has offered lessons during the day.  This year, she will be out in the mission field, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Her original assignment was to Barcelona, Spain leaving June 2nd.  But 3 weeks into her Missionary Training at home, she received a reassignment to Baton Rouge, LA leaving the week of May 26th.

In past years, we have at times offered lessons in May, but with the pandemic and the last half of May having a daughter doing Missionary Training here at home, we feel waiting until June is the better option.

Our almost 17 year old daughter was scheduled to take the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Course in April, but that class was put on hold because of the pandemic.  So - even though she is a great swimmer, has been on Skyridge HS swim team for two years and has helped her dad teach swim, we want her to have the specific training for teaching lessons before she starts taking students.  We are hoping to hear any day that she will be able to take the class.

And that brings us to Trent who has been teaching in the evenings after work for over 10 years now.  He will be taking a few students on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning in June from 6pm until 8pm.

With the need for continued social distancing, we feel that private lessons will be okay, but we will not be able to arrange semi-private lessons.  However, if 2 or 3 students in the same family are swimming at the same level, we are fine with them being grouped together.

We will update rules to reflect the current guidelines for social distancing and ask that you also follow these guidelines.  Do not come to class if you are running a fever, suspect you have Covid, or have been exposed to someone who is on quarantine.  Students may be accompanied by one parent/guardian over the age of 18.  In the event that other students are in the pool finishing up their lesson, please remain in your car until you see them exit.

I'm sure that we will be updating rules as things progress.  Thank you for your patience as we navigate this pandemic together!

Summer Season 2019 Registration Closing

With only 4 more weeks on our schedule now before school starts - crazy but true - we are no longer taking new students.

If you would like to be contacted for summer 2020 lessons, please complete the Registration Summer 2020 form.

Thanks for a great summer 2019 swim season!  See you next year!

Please complete registration and/or email us at littleflippersswimacademy@gmail.com to request free placement testing in order to schedule semi-private lessons.

Placement Testing Ongoing as needed

Please contact us to schedule free placement testing or to schedule private, semi-private preschool or level I classes.

Now registering for Summer 2019

Free Placement testing is required for semi-private lessons so we recommend that you schedule placement testing early so you know the level to be grouped with.   We have free placement testing this week Wednesday and Thursday evenings on May 1st and 2nd.  Please email us at LittleFlippersSwimAcademy@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

Private lessons do not require placement testing.  Some students have found it beneficial to initially register as a private student and then after initial private lessons, choose to be placed in a semi-private class.  We are usually able to find someone at the same level to group with the student at their current time.   We find that our students make excellent progress and we give a lot of the credit to placement  - although our coaches definitely know their stuff and have been doing this for years!

We will have day classes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30 am to 11:00 am.

Evening Classes will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm until 8:30pm.  (Classes on Thursdays or at later times may be added once these spots are full.

For current class openings.

Once a class is reserved, payment must be received within 7 days to hold the spot.  Payment can be made through Venmo, cash or check to Little Flippers Swim Academy.  You are reserving a spot which means we cannot schedule someone else in it.  If you are not able to make the lesson, we do not offer refunds.  Some times we know of other openings and are able to offer you a make-up, but we do NOT guarantee this so please only reserve spots you are sure you want. ;D

Please complete the 2019 Registration Form, and call us at 801-282-5965 or email at LittleFlippersSwimAcademy@gmail.com with any questions or to do payment over the phone.

Thanks!
