FREE SWIM EVALUATION

Not sure which class level is the best option for you?  No problem. Conduct a professional swim and water safety test to determine your current skill level in our aquatic center in Guaynabo. This will not only allow you to get to see our facilities and meet our certified Instructors, but we can also recommend the best training plan for you. Swim Evaluations are free of cost.

AQUATIC TUITION FEE

Swim lessons are offered through a Monthly Program. Subject to availability, students typically take one or two classes per week through an extended period to learn and master their swimming skills. The $50 Aquatic Tuition Fee is an initial charge to provide all materials including reward tokens, bands, and a personalized carabiner. This will help boost performance and monitor student progress. The aquatic tuition fee is valid for one (1) full year and renewed monthly when continuing with your classes.

GROUP SWIM LESSONS

Offered in small groups with no more than eight (8) participants, group lessons are very effective creating synergy, fun, and friendly competition that is constructive for all.  Group sessions are always offered the same days and times to assure consistency month after month. Following are the date options and prices:

  • Two (2) Lessons Per Week: $245 (approx. 8 classes per month)  either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday.
  • One (1) Lesson Per Week: $145 (approx. 4 classes per month) on Fridays or Saturdays.
  • Separate Classes: $40 Available for taking separate single classes in any of the respective sessions, upon availability.

PRIVATE LESSONS

You may also consider Private Swim Lessons for you or your children. This option offers the full attention of an exclusive Instructor helping the student to learn better, faster, and safer catering to their specific learning interests and needs. This service is simply double the group rate. If two (2) or more students want to join the same private session, then only the first student pays double and others can join at regular rate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Following are answers to some of the most common questions and concerns:

  • What age can my child start swim lessons? Children can begin swim lessons as young as 6 months old through the StarBabies School program. This introductory level runs through age 2, with a parent in the water throughout each 20-minute session. From age 2 and up, children can progress to the Starfish School (Parent & Child), and by ages 4–8 most students are ready for independent Swim School classes.
  • How much do swim lessons cost, and what options are available? Swim lessons are offered in both group and private formats:

    • Group Lessons (max 8 students): $245/month for 2x per week, or $145/month for 1x per week. Single separate classes are available at $40 each.

    • Private Lessons: Double the group rate, with the full attention of a dedicated instructor — ideal for faster, personalized progress.

    • A one-time $50 Aquatic Tuition Fee applies when booking 4 or more sessions, covering registration, a progress tracking system, and reward tokens and bands.
