What to Expect: Our Approach to Survival Lessons

The First Week: Bonding and "Work" Our priority is building a foundation of trust. The first few days of lessons include snuggling, play, and intentional bonding to help your child feel secure with their instructor. However, because these are life-saving skills, we do get to work immediately; this includes submersion on the very first day to begin building vital breath control. Because this is a new "workday" for your child, it is very common—and developmentally normal—for them to cry during the first week. Please understand that this crying is a form of communication and protest against a new task, not a sign of distress or a lack of safety.

Your Role: The "Quiet Anchor" To help your child move past the crying phase and gain independence, we need you to be their "Quiet Anchor." While it is tempting to cheer loudly or call out to your child, this actually distracts them and encourages them to "reach" for a rescue rather than focusing on their skills. We ask that you remain a calm, silent observer. Your quiet, neutral presence signals to your child that you are not worried and that they are safe to bond with their instructor. By staying committed and calm during this initial "hurdle," you allow your child to transform from unskilled to water-safe.

Health Information

We ask that you try to be as accurate as possible. We never share information about our clients. This information is used only to provide accurate information for the instructor. These results may potentially alter the length of your child's program. We see many clients who receive multiple health services. We need to make sure we are not interfering with any medical professionals, especially therapies.

Participation Agreement

Waiver

To participate in aquatic activity. My child is in good health and physical condition and not suffering from any condition that would prevent him/her from engaging in this activity.

Please read carefully and be aware that in registering your minor child for participating in this program, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you or your child might sustain as a result of participating in any class or activity conducted by Pediatric Survival Swim, Allison Hogue, Brittany Merring, Christina Mizell, and all Independent Swim Instructors working under the Pediatric Survival Swim name. I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks associated with these lessons. I agree to idemnify and hold Pediatric Survival Swim and any Independent Swim Instructor working under that Pediatric Survival Swim name, Allison Hogue, Brittany Merring, Christina Mizell, or any homeowners, harmless from any liability resulting from the use of premises and waive and relinquish all claims against Pediatric Survival Swim, Allison Hogue, and the pool owners that I or my minor child/children (swimming or not) may sustain while on the property or personal residence or as a result of participating in any form of swimming program offered by Pediatric Survival Swim, Allison Hogue, or any independent instructor working under Pediatric Survival Swim. I have read all materials and fully understand the above waiver and release of all claims, and it shall not be modified orally.

Financial Agreement

I as the parent or legal guardian, understand that lessons are taught at the child's emotional and physical pace, which averages 8 weeks in length. (Please note that children with special needs can be much longer as they require more time and attention in the water.) Sometimes lessons can continue longer if the child has missed too many lessons, keeping them from building muscle memory. Lessons can begin any month based on our availability. Scheduling your class in advance to ensure you get the time you need and avoid your child being placed on a waitlist.

Occasionally, factors such as bad weather or sickness could cause a delay in your start date. Your instructor will notify you if there are any changes to your start date.

Please be aware that when you sign up for the lessons below, you are signing up for several WEEKS of lessons. The duration of your lessons will depend upon the type of lessons you have chosen.

Cancellations: Because we have substantial waitlists, we can only accept up to 3 cancellations unless prior notice has been communicated to your instructor weeks in advance. We do understand there are uncontrollable circumstances. Please communicate this to the management team if this is the case.

No shows and cancellations less than 24 hours in advance are automatically charged as a swim day.

Any instructor cancellations or bad weather days will be added to the following week's tuition.

Late fees: All tuition is due by Sunday night. We do charge late fees of $2 per day unless you are auto-pay.

Tuition and Registration are non-refundable and up to the instructor's discretion.

Photo/Videography

Photos and videos (many of which are taken underwater,) may be taken in conjunction with lessons by your instructor. Video use is for training and review to improve your child's lessons. I (parent/ legal guardian) understand that if you agree, video/picture media may be used for informational advertising purposes. If you do NOT wish for any pictures or videos to be taken of your child, please write NO in the signature. We respect your right to privacy.
