Frequently Asked Questions from Calgary Parents

How do you compare to City of Calgary lessons?

We offer smaller classes (max 3 vs 8-10), guaranteed spots, and consistent scheduling. While City programs are cheaper, parents find our small groups mean faster progress and better value.

Do you follow Life Saving Society levels?

We align with Life Saving Society standards but use our own progressive curriculum focused on practical skills and water safety rather than badge collecting.

What about Calgary's water temperature?

All our Calgary pools are heated to 84-86°F (29-30°C), warmer than most public pools (80-82°F), making learning more comfortable, especially for young children.

Can siblings be in the same class?

Yes! Siblings close in age and skill can share semi-private lessons, making it convenient and cost-effective for families.

What's your cancellation policy for Calgary's crazy weather?

Lessons continue regardless of weather (we're indoors!). If you can't make it due to weather, your spot is protected for next week.
