 On this page you will find the schedule of our sessions and classes,how to register your kids and important things you'll need to know and think of when choosing your sessions and classes! You'll also find all of our policies, reasons and more, explaning what and how exactly would allow your kids to be eligible for make-up classes or not! And the information you will need to leave in your phone message, plus our prices and more!

 If your child is 21 months or younger  please check out the Parent & Baby page for more information about those classes.

This schedule is for children 22 months- 10 years old.

All of our classes are group classes in our home. We do not do private classes or go to your homes.

 How our classes work and what a 2 week session is

  You sign your kids up for a 2 week session of classes. Each session consists of 10 classes (some are 9 days due to a holiday). They run Monday-Friday of each week. Your kids must come to the same class time every day for the 2 weeks. There is no switching around of class times during the session and they must do the 2 weeks consecutively. They may not be split apart. Also, if your kids miss any classes during the 2 weeks, the only reason a make-up class will be offered is if they become sick (and a note from the doctor will be required) or if we have canceled class due to bad weather. Make-up classes are not given for vacation or any other reason than these two things.

The hours of the classes that we offer are-10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 & 7 o'clock. They all start on the hour and are 40 minutes long (example-10:00-10:40 AM and so on and the last one is from 7:00-7:40 PM)!

 Make-up classes are only given due to illness (a Drs note will be required) or if we canceled from bad weather. NOTHING ELSE!

All make-up classes from 2019 or before have expired

This is Adina, Cornelia's daughter, who was only 19 months a few years ago, when this photo was taken!

Here's a photo of Adina taken in April of 2014! In this photo she is 2 1/2! That's still pretty young, but it does go to show that starting them young, getting them comfortable with water poured over their heads as infants,having them take showers with or without you, also never wearing floatation devices, and just swimming, swimming and swimming, you'll get a child who is safe, confident, most likely would not panic if they fell in or were pushed into a pool! Peace of mind for you knowing they're safe and just plain fun for them and you! 

How to Register for our swim classes

After you've chosen the session and class time you would like you will need to call the school-305-661-3820- and you will have to leave a message to register.We do not answer the phone. On average, we receive 30 to 40 calls or more per day and only one person,Cornelia Truby is returning phone calls and she calls back in the order she receives the calls. If she were to try to answer each call (instead of you leaving a message) they would not be in any type of order and the spot you want may get filled, so by leaving a message and her calling back in the order the calls were received, we have found (in the over 40 years of doing this) that this was the fairest and best way to do this, for everyone!

 When leaving your information, please remember to speak clearly and don't rattle off your phone number so fast because Cornelia is writing your information down and when you speak too fast she has to listen to a message quite a few times in order to get what you're saying!!

 Please be patient! Cornelia will call you back after you've left your message with your chosen session and the other information you need to register. But last year we received over 100 messages the day we posted the new schedule! And this year! WOW! And thank you!! When Cornelia calls you, if you do not answer, she will leave you a message letting you know if the session and class time you've chosen is okay or not.

 It may take her a few days to get back to you, usually within 2 days. So please again, be patient! You only need to leave one message! She will get back to you! Now if you don't hear back from her after 3 days, then maybe something went wrong, then call back!

Also, please note!! We do not call you when we receive your deposit form and check and we do not call you to remind you of your starting date! So, we will only be calling you to confirm & okay your registration after you've left your information!

Here is Cornelia! She is also our underwater photographer! She takes fantastic photos of the kids that we sell on the last day of their session! (& this is a group of kids in their class)

Please leave this is the information in your message to register!-

#1-Your name

#2-The best phone number to reach you! Please make sure it's the best number to reach you! The phone number really is the most important part of your message! Make sure the reception is good and leave your phone # slowly and clearly! If we can't understand or get the #, we cannot call you back! And please make sure to check your messages! We do not text our return calls to you! We leave voice mails! And please don't text Cornelias cell phone # with your session and class time choices! You'll have to call the school to leave your info! 

Every single call and message, Cornelia writes down the time and date that you call ,the time, date and even the number of times she calls you back! She is very organized and detailed with her whole writing down of messages and returning of calls system! We have people say that we have not called them back only to find that, YES she did, but they hadn't checked their voicemails! And this happens a few times! We will try 2 times to get a hold of you, but if we are unable to get you or we don't hear back from you, your spot will not be held! So,please check your messages! And remember, we do not ever answer the phone!

**And if you see that you have a missed call from us, please check your messages 1st before calling back and leaving a new message! More than likely we will have left you a message!!**

#3-The session number you would like-you don't need to leave the date, just the session # (it's helpful to have an alternate session in mind in case the one you would like has filled up by the time you call)

#4-The class time (an alternate time is good here as well)

#5-Your child/childrens name and their age 

We do not call you to remind you when your classes start! So,don't forget to mark your calendars!

 And please! Do not text Cornelias phone to register or leave messages!

We return phone calls Monday-Friday, usually between 9 AM-5 PM. We are closed on the weekend. 

***Important things to know before choosing your session and/or class time! We are trying to help you so you don't end up losing any of your kids paid classes***

Below are some important things to know and keep in mind so you don't choose a session where you may not be eligible for make-up classes if your kids cannot attend the full 2 weeks!

Also,each and every time your child takes a session (from their very 1st one) they will be learning new things, progressing,strengthening, practising and hopefully mastering something they may have not quite gotten or were on the verge of getting, in their previous session. This is why kids come back year after year! Be it that they're just learning how to be comfortable under the water, learning how to be able to cometo learning all the different swimming strokes. Because there is always something new to learn! 

#1- **Vacation**-Make-up classes are not given for vacation! Period! So,if you choose a session knowing you'll miss due to vacation, you will still have to pay the total amount and a make-up class or classes is not an option!  

#2- **The 1st Day**- Your kids will have to start on the 1st day of the session you enrolled them in! You may not start a few days late! If they get sick and will miss the 1st day,they must be able to start Tuesday, maybe Wednesday and especially if they're very young or this is their 1st time here! Or you may have to reschedule them, but you need to call and let us know if they're not coming before their scheduled class, not after or days later!! (If they've been with us before we may possibly be able to let them start a few days later, but you'll need to call us to discuss this before their class!!)   

#3- **Make up classes are only given for illness or if we cancel due to bad weather! And a note from the doctor will be required for illness! Make-ups are not given for vacation, graduations, recitals,other sporting events,any other type of practice,class,lesson, parties, sibling's graduations, recitals, etc, etc! No exceptions!  We do ask, please, as a courtesy to us, during your childs session, if your child will be missing a class or classes, even if you know they're not eligible for a make-up class, we ask that you call and leave a message as soon as you know they're not coming! This allows us to call and schedule a make up to a child needing one and let's us know how many teachers are needed! Remember! It could be your child needing a make up class one day and if we know in advance, we'll be able to schedule their make-up that much faster!!

 #4- **You will have to come to both weeks of the session consecutively!**- You may not split the two weeks apart! It is for and to your childrens benefit coming every day of their two week session (unless they do get sick or we have to cancel due to bad weather, but these things are out of all of our hands!) and there is a reason we do our classes this way (and it's worked for over 40 years!) the coming every day, they will learn how to be safe around water and learn to swim much faster! 

#5-**You have to come to the same class time every day of your 2 week session** You may not switch class time hours, asking or wanting to come to a different class on certain days due to any other event, practice,class, siblings events, recitals, birthday parties, graduations, etc,etc,etc!! The answer will be no! Sorry!

#6- Signing up siblings- Siblings may all come to the same class because we divide the class up by level, not age. The classes usually divides up into 2 or 3 different levels,according to ability. BUT! if you do sign up more than one child, then on the 1st day decide that one of them will not be attending afterall, we will not apply their deposit to the other sibling! You will lose the deposit because we have held the spot for them and another child was unable to take that class due to this! 

So, please think of all of this when choosing your session and understand that if you do choose a session knowing you will miss days for any reason we've listed, you will still have to pay for the days you would not be coming, you will not be eligible for make-up classes and we do not pro-rate classes! 

Also, please read the page that tells you all about our policies if your child does end up missing some of their classes during their session!!

 **If your child gets sick and will not be able to come to their 1st day (or any day), please read the "What to do if your child gets sick" page!

**Any make-up classes you end up with will expire by the end of September 2020, but make-ups from 2019 have now expired**

And we do not call to remind you of your starting date, so please mark your calendar!! And we do not call to let you know we've received your deposit!

If you do forget your starting date and you're not here the first few days, you do not get make-ups for these days and you may not just show up! You will need to call us 1st to make sure it's okay for your child to start as we may have given their spot to someone else if we just don't hear from you! So!! You may need to reschedule your whole session! You do lose the days that you missed! No make-ups will be given!

All make-up classes from 2019 or before have now expired

** You will find the costs of the classes below the sessions schedule**

You will find our schedule for 2020 with the dates and class hours down a little lower on the page, but please read what's written here before just going to the schedule

The hours of the classes are-10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6 & 7 o'clock.They all start on the hour and are 40 minutes long (example-10:00-10:40 AM and so on and the last one is from 7:00-7:40 PM)-They are all Monday-Friday of both weeks, except for the 9 day, sess #5 it runs Tuesday-Friday, then Monday-Friday the 2nd week.

The class times that are available/open are listed next to each session. If you do not see a certain hour, this means it's no longer available.

We try to update as quickly as possible, but at times a class may fill up before we've had the chance to do so. We're sorry if this happens! This is why it's a good idea to have an alternate class and/or session in mind! 

**Keep in mind when choosing your session!**

If you choose a session or class time knowing that your kids will be missing class due to a reason other than illness, please keep in mind that they will not be eligible for a make-up class, you will still have to pay for the class even if you're not coming, we do not pro-rate classes and they may not come to a different class time! This does apply to everyone! So please make sure to read the part above that says "Important things to know before choosing your session and/or class time"!! 

After choosing your session, scroll back up a little bit on this page and find where it says "How to Register". You will have to call the school to register, so scroll up to find out what exactly you'll need to do! Please do not call and leave a message just saying you want to register and to call you back without leaving your chosen sess#, class time and the other info asked of you! If you do, we'll just call you back and tell you to call again after you have all that info!!

Waiting List- After you have chosen a session and class time, but you'd preferred something different, you may be put on a waiting list for what you prefer, but you must already be signed up for a session to be put on this list and then we will have to receive your deposit check! You cannot just be put on a waiting list if you're not signed up somewhere else! Are waiting list may be long, but we will try do our best! We do teach close to or over 1000 kids per season!

  You'll find the cost of the two week sessions below the schedule

 **PLEASE!** Everyone! Even if you've been with us before, each new year, we really do STILL need you to fill out our deposit form! Please don't send in only a check by itself or with just a post-it or a brief note! If you're dropping off your deposit, you'll find blank forms here that you're welcome to use, but we need the completed deposit form from everyone!!  And you only need one deposit form and one check per family! SAVE PAPER AND CHECKS!! Thanks!

Our Schedule for 2020 

**Posted May 20th**

Hello and first of all, we do hope that everyone is staying safe and doing well! That's the most important thing! And man! We sure do miss seeing kids in the pool here!

1st!! To the parents who were signed up for our Spring Break Special and our Sessions #1-#5 PLEASE READ!!

Due to the Coronavirus we did have to to postpone our spring break special and sessions #1-5, but, hopefully not any more after that! We hope and pray!

If you did already sign-up and sent in your deposit for any of the postponed classes,please know that when we re-open we can't wait to get your kids swimming! BUT!! please call Cornelia about rescheduling as soon as you can and leave her a message, so she can call you back to get you all set up!! 

If you signed-up, but did not send in your deposit, PLEASE call soon  and let us know if you'd still like us to hold your kids spots or not! We do need to know! 

 But! and when (God willing) we're able to resume our normal lives, we will work out the rescheduling of your kids classes! You will have many many different options regarding doing the classes when we're able to swim! We'll get them swimming! We promise!

And now aslo to everyone wanting to sign-up and come to our swimming school:

We are all STILL in this scary, uncertain, confusing time and holding pattern together and the most important thing, above all, is staying healthy, strong and getting through this!

Regarding future up coming sessions, from Session #6 and on, you are welcome to sign-up for classes. Just check out the schedule, what's available and follow the instructions on how to register! We've even added 2 more sessions to choose from.

Believe us! We'd love nothing more and can't wait to be able to get the kids into their classes now, but until we're all safe and given the "all clear", just like you, we don't have all the answers yet, but we'll figure it all out when we do!

As you can imagine, Cornelia and I have been discussing and stressing about swimming every day! And being a small business (and seasonal) being closed is scary and not easy! We want to thank all of our what we call "swim families" for being patient and understanding because without that, well, we don't want to even think what would happen to our swim school!

And we are SO lucky to be able to live in a place where we're able to swim all the way into December due to our beautiful weather here and to having our heated pool to swim in!

This has been and is still an all new and different world we're living in and if you've been with us before, obviously, there will be some major changes on how we run the classes! And if you haven't been with us before, please understand that we will not be doing exactly what it says on some of the other pages on our site here. We're working on that every second! Figuring out ways to all safely be here and we'll keep updating here as we go and by any guidelines we're given.

So, closer to your kids starting date, please check back here to see what you'll need to do and know for the first day of your kids classes.

At the moment I'm not sure if we'll post the changes here or we may be creating a new "Changes due to the Coronavirus" page, but...again... we're working on it! 

I do know the one thing that will never change is in our love of teaching your kids to swim!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 

Sincerely and with much affection,

Susie and Cornelia Truby

and everyone else here at the swim school

This will be just like our Spring Break Special! But, your kids will have to have taken one of our full two week sessions in order to participate. No new students who did not take a 2 week sess this summer. The cost is $170 and must be paid in full within 5 days of registering.

#11 Aug 24-Sept 4- all hours open

#12 Sept 8 (Tues)-18- 9 day due to holiday- all hours open

 Sept- mid-December- Maintenance Program- in order for your children to participate in these classes,they must have taken a full 2 week session here this summer-2020! If they've never been to our school, they will have to wait until 2021. Please check out all about our Maint. program on it's page!

 **If your kids do/did take a session during the summer**

After your kids  have completed a 2 week session this summer ,if you're interested in taking another session,but they're all full, call the school and let us know who your childs is, when they were here and when it is you're interested (the sess # and all the class times you could do). We do keep spots open for this reason and are usually able to find something for them!

Also! Don't forget to check out the Maintenance Program page!! It's a great way to keep up and keep advancing their swimming! It opens in August and runs thru mid-December. Your child will have to have taken and completed a full 2 week session in 2020 to be able to join in this program. 

 The Costs of the two Week Sessions-2020

Payment is by check or cash only.We do not take credit cards So, you may either send your payment in the mail (along with our printed out and filled out deposit form) or drop it off at the school! 

Below the prices you'll find who to make your check payable to, our mailing address and we also explain just how and where to drop it off at the school if that's what you decide you'd like to do!

**PLEASE*** No matter how you are paying for your classes and if you've been with us before or not, everyone will need to send your payment in with our filled out deposit form signed by a parent/guardian! We need to have that form on file here signed by you! Do not just send your check without our deposit form! 

We do need a completed, filled out and signed deposit form for every child attending in 2020! Siblings may all be put on one form and one check, but we need the deposit form!

Each new 2 week session usually has over 120 kids signed up for it! And we do 10 classes a day at our busiest in the summer months! Thats's over 1000 kids each summer! So when we get only a check with no deposit form, it makes it very hard to find where your child is signed up in order for us to mark that you've paid! And please mail in the deposit amounts that you see written here! (We've been getting deposit checks for different amounts then the amounts we have requested). And we're sorry, but we do not call you when we receive your deposit check. If you see that we didn't cash your check (after an unusual amount of time) of course give us a call, but sometimes it does take us a few days or more to get to the bank!   

**PLEASE NOTE** We do not call to remind you of your kids starting date or call to confirm receiving your deposit! If you fail to show up for your whole or any of your scheduled session you will lose your deposit, so please don't forget!

********OUR PRICES*******

The cost of a two week, 10 class, session is $340.00 per child. After you've chosen your session and class time, called the school and left a message with the information asked, you will then need to mail in a deposit check* of $180.00 per child, along with your filled out deposit form, within 5 days of your registration. Cornelia will call and confirm ,then once we've received your deposit check and deposit form, your childs spot is secured! The balance of $160.00 is due on the 1st day of class!!! 

 Cost of a 9 Day Session- (due to a holiday) is $306.00. Mailing in a deposit check* of $186.00 and then paying the balance of $120.00 on the 1st day.

*If you could please also write your childs name & sess # and class time on the memo part of the check this is helpful for us as well! 

Any balance due does need to be paid before your kids class begins on the 1st day! Not after the class or the 2nd day! You will need to bring either a check or cash!! So please don't forget!! If you'd rather pay in full instead of just sending in the deposit amount after you've registered, you are welcome to do so!

If you're dropping off your payment and you'd like to pay in cash, that's okay (and welcomed : )) as we do check the red postbox many times a day! 

 A charge of $5.00 will be added each day if it is not paid on the 1st day! Or your child may not be allowed to swim! So,please don't forget to bring your check or cash on the 1st day!

This does apply to everyone!

Here is the breakdown of the costs per child and the amounts you will need to pay.

 **PLEASE** We do need you to fill out and sign our deposit form and give it together with your deposit check!  THIS DOES MEAN EVERYONE!  Please don't just mail or give us a check all by itself or only with a post it or something! We do need and keep the deposit forms on file here!

At our busiest, we do hold 10 classes a day with 10-12 kids in each class. So that's 100's of kids signing up in one of our 10 sessions we hold during our season! And because of the amount of kids and some maybe having the same name,etc, and just to keep it all organized as well, each child needs a filled out form! Except for siblings, you'll only need to fill out one form per family and one check per family as well.  If you're planning on dropping off your deposit check (or even cash), we do have blank deposit forms in our red post box next to the front door that you're welcome to use! So please don't give us a check without the filled out, signed form!!

                                        10 day session  total cost per child-$340

needed within 5 days of registering to secure their spot- $180

Balance due amount  before or on the 1st day-$160

9 day session total cost per child-$306

Deposit amountneeded within 5 days of registering to secure their spot-$186

Balance due amount  needed  before or on the 1st day-$120

There is a discount of $30  off of the 3rd siblings cost (& on the 4th,the 5th, or more, ha ha) but they must be siblings! Not cousins, etc! And the deposit is non-refundable!

AND! If we've held a spot for you for 2 or more children and you show up on the 1st day and decide to remove one, we will not apply the deposit to your other children! Sorry, but you will lose it! So, please make sure when you're registering!

If you would rather send in the whole amount you are welcome to do so.

Or you are also welcome to come by the school and leave your deposit check and deposit form in the red "Post" box next to the front door instead of mailing it. There are extra deposit forms,envelopes and a pen in the red box! If you'd like to come by and pay in cash that is also fine! Even if no one is home, it's still okay to leave it in the red box! We check it many times per day so it is okay and cash is always welcome!

Please put all your children on one form! The same applies with your check! One check is fine for all your kids!

  So, now, please go to the "Deposit form/registration form" page to print it out!

***We do not call to remind you of your kids staring date or confirm again! If you fail to show up for your whole or any of your scheduled session you will lose your deposit, so don't forget!

If you decide to cancel before sending in your deposit,please give us the courtesy of calling and letting us know so that we do not hold your spot and another child loses the chance to swim!

Payment is check or cash only. We do not take credit cards or any type of electronic bank transfers

There will be a $25 charge on returned checks

***We do not call you when we receive your deposit check! And we don't call to remind you of your starting date!!!

Please allow time for us to get the check and take it to the bank. Sometimes we are so busy it may take us a few days to get to the bank! Please look into it on your end first, then if you see it hasn't been cashed after at least a week or so, by all means,give us a call! Thank you!
