We Don’t Just Teach Swim Safety—We Promise It.

The S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise begins when a swimmer age 4+ enters a qualifying level (Beginner 2–4) and attends their first lesson in that level. 

To stay eligible, swimmers must attend weekly lessons with no more than 4 total absences during the 12-month period (excluding facility closures). Missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the absence. 

If a swimmer reaches the one-year mark and hasn’t passed the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Test, our team will proactively discuss next steps. If eligible, your swimmer will be enrolled in up to 2 additional months of free lessons or until they pass, whichever comes first. 

To pass the test, swimmers must demonstrate all 6 S.A.F.E.R. skills confidently and safely. These include entries,  rolling to breathe, backstroke, sighting the wall, and safe exit. Your instructor will let you know when your swimmer is preparing for the assessment. 

The S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise continues as long as your swimmer remains in Beginner 2, 3, or 4. If they move beyond those levels before the one-year period ends, congratulations! That means they’ve already mastered the required skills! 

Learning to swim safely takes regular practice. Long breaks can slow down a child’s progress and make it harder to retain the skills they’ve worked hard to build.

To stay eligible for the S.A.F.E.R. Swimmer Promise, swimmers must attend weekly lessons with no more than 4 absences in a 12-month period (not including facility closures). In addition, if a swimmer pauses lessons for more than 14 consecutive days, their Promise timeline will restart when they return.

If you’re considering a break or need to pause lessons, please speak with your front desk team so we can talk through your options and help you stay on track.
