Question 1

How many sessions should I sign up for?

Accepted Answer

Every swimmer learns at their own pace. After even one session, many families notice a real shift in confidence and comfort in the water — and instructors look for visible skill gains every time you show up. For the strongest, lasting progress, we recommend a minimum of about three sessions (how many individual lessons that is depends on whether you book a week with Lukaah or a month with Estee). Depending on your child, your instructor can advise whether stacking sessions back-to-back or spacing them out will work best.

Question 2

Do you offer group lessons?

Accepted Answer

We do not offer group lessons for beginner or intermediate swimmers. Years of experience have shown us that one-on-one instruction is far more effective for building real skills and confidence. We do offer swim-team preparation classes for proficient swimmers looking to refine technique and endurance — those are capped at 4 swimmers per session.

Question 3

Do you work with children who have special needs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We've worked with many children with sensory disorders, autism, and other needs. If this applies to your swimmer, please reach out before booking so we can learn more and tailor our approach to best support them.

Question 4

Where are lessons taught?

Accepted Answer

Lessons are currently held in American Fork, Utah — you'll receive the exact address once you book. We currently do not offer lessons in Hawaii.

Question 5

What ages do you teach?

Accepted Answer

We start with newborns and have no upper age limit. Whether you're booking for an infant, a teenager, or yourself as an adult, we welcome you.

Question 6

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

We accept secure online checkout with Stripe (card and Apple Pay), Apple Pay and cards in person, Venmo (@swimtosurf), cash, and check. Payment is due on the first day of your session unless you prepaid online with Stripe. A $15 late fee applies for each day that payment is overdue.

Question 7

What is your cancellation and missed lesson policy?

Accepted Answer

Full cancellations require a minimum of 7 days advance notice for a refund. If you need to miss an individual lesson, please give us at least 24 hours notice and we'll do our best to work something out — however, makeup sessions are not guaranteed. No-shows or late cancellations will not be refunded or rescheduled.

Question 8

How does booking with Lukaah work?

Accepted Answer

Lukaah teaches Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM. You'll choose a week and a single time slot — that same time repeats every day for the entire five-day week. Infants (0-2) have 15-minute lessons; everyone else has 30-minute lessons.

Question 9

How does booking with Estee work?

Accepted Answer

Estee teaches Wednesdays (8:00 AM – 11:30 AM) and Thursdays (12:30 PM – 4:00 PM). You'll pick a day, choose a time slot, and that lesson repeats every week for the month — four lessons total. You can also add a second day each week for double the sessions.
