How long are swim lessons?Lessons typically last between 30 to 45 minutes per day. For younger children, shorter sessions are more appropriate to keep them engaged.
-
What times are the classes held?Class times range from 8:30 am - 6:30 pm. When registering, we ask if you would prefer morning or afternoon and try our best to accommodate your preferences. We take registrations in the order that they are received and then build out the schedule from there.
-
How many days are swim lessons?There are 8 days total of swimming per swim session.
-
Where are you located?We are in Flower Mound, TX
-
Can parents stay to watch swim lessons?The only class that parents stay for is the Mommy + Me class and that age range is from 18 months - 2 years. In the Mommy + Me class parents will be in the water doing the lesson with their child. The expectation for all other ages is that they are dropped off and picked up from the back gate. Our instructors will not start class until all parents are gone because this vastly improves the quality of your child's swim lesson. The swimmers do much better if they do not have distractions and are not constantly looking for their parent's approval. Rather, they can focus on their instructor and what is being taught. You will be able to watch all that your swimmer has accomplished at Show Off Day!
-
Do you offer private lessons?Unfortunately, we do not!
-
Can I miss a lesson and make it up later?The only make up lessons we offer is if we have to cancel due to lightning.

What happens if there’s bad weather?In the event of extreme weather conditions (lightning, thunder, etc.), lessons may be canceled or rescheduled. We’ll notify you via our Instagram (@thepoolofjoy) if this happens. Make up day is Friday at the same time!
-
Does my child need to know how to swim before starting lessons?Not at all! Beginners, as well as those looking to improve their technique, can benefit from Pool of Joy. Our instructors work with you at your own pace.
-
What age group is appropriate for swim lessons?Swim lessons are available for a wide range of ages, from infants (18 months+) to 9 years old! Classes are tailored by age, skill level, and comfort in the water.
-
What skills will my child learn during swim lessons?Skills include getting in and out of the pool safely, floating, kicking, basic strokes (like freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke), breath control, and water safety techniques.
-
What should I bring to swim lessons?Please bring a swimsuit, a towel and water if you’d like! For young children, swim diapers are required. And girls must have their hair out or their face!
-
Will Session One have one less day of swimming because of Memorial Day?No, you will not lose a day. The first week class will run Tuesday - Friday and the second week will return to the normal schedule Monday - Thursday.
-
How many sessions will it take to become proficient at swimming?Each session is 8 days of lessons! While we expect each swimmer to make drastic improvements, our number one goal is for our swimmers to overcome their fear of the water and know how to safely get in and out of the pool. You will learn skills to practice the remainder of the summer!
