I wish I could give an answer. But this depends on many factors and what your goal(s) is which I’d enjoy discussing with you. Prior experience(s), emotions including fear and confidence, body and breath awareness, quality of instruction and communication, consistency of learning and repetition outside of lessons, and positive encouragement influence it. Goals can be safety around water, safety in shallow, deep, or open water or the ocean, comfort while floating, kicking, or treading water, learning or advancing skills in a swimming stroke, to name several of many. My goal every lesson is building your trust with me to then build joy with water.

Currently, I’m a traveling swim school that can meet you at a pool you offer in the Dallas area. Access is a big part of why many people do not have safe water and swim skills yet. Yet is the key word. I am in the process of gaining access to an indoor pool. For the summer of 2026, I’ll be offering lessons in Irving as well as traveling.

You are given until 48 hours prior to your lesson to cancel and until 8 hours prior to your lesson to reschedule. Additionally, for 2 lessons you are given until 2 hours prior to your lesson to reschedule. I understand that schedules change particularly for adults with work and children. Rescheduling due to inclement weather and documented medical illness are not charged.

A swimsuit and towel are the most critical. I recommend a swim cap, goggles, and a swim shirt. Let’s chat (contact info above) so I can recommend the best of each for you. I provide what else we need. You get to take the WaterWise floating pool noodle home with you!

Yes. Contact me (contact info above) if you are interested in a semi-private swim lesson(s) for 2-3 adults ages 13+ or private or group lessons for kids.
