POLICIES & FAQS
LESSON LOCATION
During summer, lessons are held at two private residential pools: one in Hendersonville and one in Donelson. From September-May, lessons are held indoors at the Gallatin Civic Center.
LESSON READINESS
Please ensure the swim student arrives ready to jump into the lesson with proper swimwear, sunscreen or sun shirt (if outdoors), a towel, long hair tied back from their face, and (if desired) a swim cap. For those that are not yet potty trained, please use a swim diaper, and for others, please make a bathroom trip before arriving so that lesson time may be used for swimming.
FURTHER LEARNING
At the end of the swim student’s course of lessons, I will share tips for continued practice so that students maintain, retain, and grow their swimming skills. I am also available for questions via phone call, text or email (even after lessons have concluded) and love to receive photos and videos of thriving swim students!
ILLNESS
If a student experiences any of the following within 24 hours of their scheduled lesson time, please contact me to cancel and reschedule:
● A fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater;
●Vomiting;
● Diarrhea;
● COVID-like symptoms; or
● Any symptoms the family deems concerning/unusual.
SCHEDULING
All lessons are scheduled through my Calendly page. To schedule fall and winter lessons at the Gallatin Civic Center, choose the booking options that start with the word “Gallatin.” You may sign up for the same time slot 2 days a week with the Tuesday/Thursday or the Wednesday/Friday option. If you’d like to come four days a week (Tuesday-Friday), sign up for both the Tues./Thurs. booking option as well as the Wed./Fri. option.
I also have Saturday availability for single lessons, and clients can sign up for as many Saturday lessons as they’d like. If you are able to accommodate lessons during the week, please consider doing so. This will save the Saturday lesson times for clients with limited weekday availability.
REFUNDS
Get Ahead Swim Lessons, LLC does not offer refunds.
PUNCTUALITY
Consistent and timely attendance and participation from students is crucial to ensuring they receive the best instruction and most impactful pool time. Late arrival adversely impacts my ability to serve clients, so please arrive on time. In rare cases that clients must be tardy, the lesson will still end at the scheduled stop time.
INSTRUCTION STYLE
I utilize my 25+ years of experience in education and aquatics to inform my approach to swim instruction. Each student receives personalized instruction based on their ability level, age, and goals. If at any time you have questions about my instructional approach, please don’t hesitate to ask! I’m passionate about swimming and water safety and am happy to discuss.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
I will make my best effort to keep track of the weather. As I will often be teaching back-to-back lessons in the pool, I will not always be immediately reachable by phone. In case of inclement weather, I will contact clients as soon as possible to communicate delays or cancellations. I will move forward with lessons in rain, but will cancel and reschedule in the case of thunder or lightning.
RELEASE OF LIABILITY
Get Ahead Swim Lessons, LLC shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injuries that may occur during lessons. All clients must read and sign a release and waiver of responsibility before the date of the first lesson. The waiver will be sent out in a lesson reminder email.
COMMUNICATION
I will make my best effort to respond to all texts, e-mails, and phone calls within 24-48 hours of receiving them. Thank you for your patience as I prioritize pooltime and face-to-face client interactions. My phone number is 615-485-9074 and my email address is GetAhead.SwimLessons@gmail.com.
CANCELLATION
A minimum of twenty-four (24) hours advance notice is required to cancel and reschedule lessons. There will be no rescheduling for cancellations made within 24 hours of lesson start time or no-shows. I understand there are special circumstances, so please contact me regarding your specific situation if needed.
