Aquatics Staff Office Hours
Have a question about Summer Session? Does your swimmer have special needs that you’d like to discuss? Our Aquatics Staff is making themselves available for “office hours” to answer all your questions! You can sign up for an informational phone call with a staffer between Monday, April 28th and Wednesday, April 30th. These 15-minute calls are free of charge and do not commit you to anything — it’s just a chance to have your questions answered. Sign up for a phone call here.

+ Session Dates + Services
We have three swim sessions per year:
- Fall (September-December)
- Spring (January-May)
- Summer (June-August)
Services available for booking during Summer Session include:
- Weekly Private (1:1) and Semiprivate (2:1) and Group (3:1) lessons for kids and adults
- Drop-in Private, Semiprivate and Group lessons for kids and adults
Adult Instructional Swim Classes and Baby Bubbles Classes will also continue on a drop-in basis. This means you book these classes one by one.
+ How Enrollment Works
When you book weekly lessons for a session, you are committing to 1 lesson each week the full duration of the session. This guarantees your swim time each and every week with the same instructor. Tuition is billed via Autopay to your credit card on file.
At the end of the term, you will need to enroll again for the next session to continue your swim lessons. Currently enrolled clients get first priority booking for subsequent sessions.
If you are unable to commit to a full swim term (9 weeks in summer 2025), please book Drop-in Swim Lessons instead. You can book these one at a time when it is convenient for you.
+ Cancellation, Sick and Etc. Policies
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Fitness Alive has a 24-hour cancellation policy. Cancellations must be through the Fitness Alive Portal:
- Early cancellation with at least 24 hours notice - Eligible for rebooking/make-up.
- Late cancellation with less than 24 hours notice, and no-shows - Not eligible for rebooking/make-up.
If you are in a semiprivate (2:1) or group (3:1) swim lesson, please note this ADDITIONAL CANCELLATION/MAKE-UP POLICY:
- Early Cancellations for Semiprivates/Groups: If one partner in a semiprivate early-cancels a lesson, the entire lesson will be early-canceled for all partners. This means the other partner(s) will not be able to keep the lesson time on the date that was canceled by their partner. Semiprivate/group make-ups resulting from early cancellations must be completed with all partners. If you plan to take a lesson with a friend(s), you will need to coordinate a make-up time with that friend(s). Separate private make-ups will not be allowed for semiprivate/group swimmers
- Late Cancellations for Semiprivates/Groups: If a semiprivate/group partner late cancels or no-shows, this is considered a “charged” lesson so the partners who did not cancel can keep their normal lesson time and swim on their own.
SICK POLICY:
A last-minute cancellation due to illness — just like any cancellation with less than 24 hours notice — will be treated as a late-cancel and is not eligible for a make-up.
We understand this can be frustrating as a parent; we have kids, too, and know they sometimes just wake up sick! However, as a business, we need to honor our instructors' time and pay them for coming in for your lesson. Thank you for understanding.
Please also note that, to protect the health of our staff and other clients, Fitness Alive reserves the right to refuse services to swimmers who show symptoms of illness, at our discretion. They will be asked to leave the facility and are not eligible for a make-up.
In the event that a Fitness Alive coach is sick and needs to call out last minute, we will do everything we can to provide a sub. You will be notified about any substitutions. If you decide that you would prefer to not swim with a substitute instructor, you are permitted to late cancel your lesson. Late cancellations are not eligible for rescheduling or make-up.
In the event that a sub is not available for your swim time, you will be given a make-up you can schedule on your own for a later date.
