Registration
For this summer we'll be using calendly to schedule lessons and open play. We have separate calendly accounts so that you can sign up for multiple private/semi-private lessons at the same time.
For example if you have two or more kids with very different swim experience, you can sign up for a slot with coach Mayzie AND a slot with coach Eva so they can all swim at the same time but have the perfect instruction for their needs! (For side-by-side lesson slots you’ll probably want to get a jump on sign ups so those slots are open for ya.)
If you want to add a friend or two and form a semi-private lesson, just send us an email and we will reach out to them to get them on the schedule.
We have slightly different schedules for when we'll be out of town this summer so not all of our lessons will line up. You can see these dates on our Calendly accounts and down below under Schedule. Some days only one of us will be coaching. We will both be there for all of the open play dates though!
30 min. Private and semi-private lessons are available:
Monday and Wednesday 10:30am-3:30pm
Open Swim is:
Friday
10:00am-12:30am
and 1:00pm-3:30pm
Secure your spot by:
1. Open Calendly and select your preferred dates and times.
To ensure that your swimmer gets as much time as they need to learn there’s a 6 lesson minimum for sign ups, including open swim. We recommend 8-10 lessons for brand new swimmers, and you can always add these additional lessons on later if there are slots open. (see more info below under scheduling)
2. Please enter your swimmer’s name and age into Calendly.
3. If you plan on signing up with a friend, email us so we can add them to our schedule.
4. Venmo Eva or Mayzie

6. Done! Your kid is in the Orca pod!
Lesson info and Scheduling
The Little Orca pod is getting ready for Summer 2023! With a mix of private/ semi-private lessons Monday and Wednesday, and Open Swim on Friday, there will be a perfect fit for any of your kids! We think this will be a great blend of helping kids on an individual basis, but still have some fun play time where they can get together and practice those skills!
MONDAY and Wednesday:
Private lessons
If you'd like your kids to have lessons at the same time, we will both be in the pool most of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Semi-private lessons
If you'd like semi-private lessons with buddies or siblings, we highly recommend you register with kids who are close to the same level as your kids :) Because you can only sign up one kid/lesson on calendly, if you’d like to schedule with friends please email us and we can reach out to them and add them to our schedule.
Number of lessons
We require a minimum of 6 lessons when signing your child up (open swim counts since we'll be practicing), but hope lots of the littlest fish will get 8-10 lessons because they can make so much progress with every lesson and then lock in and build on those skills as they go!
Three or more sessions per week is best (including the open swim) because training close together means skills get locked in fast, strengthened through repetition, and kids feel the thrill of progress!
Also, for those new to swimming, lessons close together means less tears and more fun swimming! But we also know schedules are bonkers sometimes so hope everyone can find times that work well for your families, even if they need to be spread out a little :).
