+ When are Summer Swim Classes?

Summer Swim Classes start on April 1st, 2025 and continue through October 31st, 2025.

+ Do I need to have a pool?.. And what kind of pools can I have swim classes or private lifeguarding in?

Yes, you do. Sun Rays Swim Academy is a private swim instruction business that travels to your location! Our instructors travel all across Los Angeles County. Types of pools that we are allowed to instruct in include: your home pool, a family or friends home pool, or a community pool/apartment building pool you have access to. We are not allowed to provide lessons in other swim business facilities or pools you do not have access to.

If you are interested in renting a pool near you, please dont hesitate to reach out and we can help with that process! Renting can be done through Swimply.com.

+ How often should the lessons be a week?

We recommend, classes should be as often as 2-3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each lesson. We want your child to be water safe as soon as possible. With 2-3 lessons a week, your child will learn new concepts and apply them consistently until it becomes muscle memory. We never recommend one lesson a week when they are learning how to swim because the concepts learned are almost forgotten by the next lesson. Our recommendations do not provide guarenteed results. Our program offers a gentle and traditional approach to swim classes, we currently do not offer 8-10 day intensives.

+ How many lessons until my child is water safe?

While every child is different, we strive to see our students water safe by the 16th-24th lesson. This is a rough estimate based on our experience. Although we will not push your child past what they are comfortable with, we always encourage and challenge our swimmers. Our instructors make it a priority to meet them where they are at. Our goal is that every child reaches level 3; at level 3 they are water safe and you can feel confident with their abilities in deeper water.

+ How early can my child start taking classes with Sun Rays Swim Academy?

We start our Parent & Child classes at 2 years old. We want them to be aware of the water and confortable with the water so that it's an easier adjustment into the individual swim classes when they turn 4 . For our youngest age group (ages 2-3) we focus our efforts on survival techniques like floating on their back, holding their breath, exiting the pool and swimming a short distance with the parent/guardian in the water.
