Ocean First Swim Policies

At the Ocean First Swim School, we strongly believe in the power of a consistent learning environment which is why we encourage attending your weekly scheduled swim class as often as possible. We understand that life can get in the way, which is why we offer the following make-up policy.

Standard Policies:

Automatic Billing

Swim lessons operate on an open enrollment system, allowing students to begin classes whenever they are ready and our schedule permits. We use a rolling enrollment system, meaning your swimmer will automatically be re-enrolled each month unless we are notified otherwise. A card on file is required to be enrolled in lessons.

Tuition is billed automatically on a monthly basis between the 1st and 3rd of each month.

Annual Registration

All families are charged a $25 Annual Registration Fee upon initial enrollment. This fee is charged every January for existing families. If new families enroll in November or December, they will not be charged again in January.

Rates

Monthly group lessons are $30 per half-hour class, typically ranging from $120–$150 per month.
- If a holiday falls on the day of your swim lesson, the tuition will be prorated accordingly—there is no need to schedule a makeup class for closures.
Semi-private lessons are $45 per person per half-hour.
Private lessons are $70 per half-hour.
Adult lessons are $40 per one-hour class.

We also offer drop-in rates for those with busy schedules or who would like to try a class:

Group lesson drop-ins: $38
Adult lesson drop-ins: $48

There is no registration fee for drop-in classes.

Drop Policy

To avoid being automatically charged or billed for the entire month, you must notify us before the 1st of the month if you would like to withdraw from a class.
If you drop mid-month, we are unable to offer a refund or credit for missed classes. However, you are welcome to schedule makeup classes for those sessions.

Makeup Policy

If you or your swimmer will be absent, we require 48 hours’ notice prior to the class to be eligible for a makeup.

Makeup classes are based on availability and are not guaranteed.
We cannot guarantee the same instructor for makeup lessons.
Makeup classes expire 30 days from the date of absence and may be scheduled in advance.
Makeup lessons can be scheduled up to 7 days ahead via the parent portal, phone, or email.

Referral Policy

The greatest compliment you can give Ocean First Swim School is referring your friends.
For each friend who enrolls, you’ll receive a complimentary group lesson.
Please make sure your friend includes your name in the "Referred By" section of their registration.
Thank you for your continued support and trust!

Additional Details

All youth classes are 30 minutes long with a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, except Swim Club, which is 60 minutes with an 8:1 ratio.
We offer a 10% discount for additional weekly classes.
Swimmers ages 5+ who can swim independently must complete a free evaluation to be placed at the appropriate level.
If an instructor is out sick, a substitute instructor will be assigned and updated in the parent portal.
If a class is full, you may be added to the waitlist. We will contact you if a spot becomes available. You will have 3 business days to accept the spot. If you’ve been on the waitlist for an extended time, please reach out—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
