POPULAR QUESTIONS

Got a question? We’re here to help.


  • What type of lessons do you provide?

    We specialize in private 1-to-1 swim lessons. Rather than spending time waiting on the wall for other kids to practice, each swimmer is the focus of their entire lesson. At the beginning of your child’s first lesson, the instructor will assess your child’s abilities, and go from there. Your child is treated wholly as an individual, and we strive to make each lesson fun while focusing on safety and skills!

  • What's the difference between recurring and drop in lessons?

    When you enroll your kiddo in recurring lessons, your spot is held for you each week — your child returns at the same day and time. That means that your child gets the benefit of consistency and predictability. For young children especially, that consistency can make a huge difference. 


    Drop-in lessons can be scheduled as often as you like, even up to the day of the lesson. With drop-in lessons you have the flexibility of not committing to a day and time. We can’t guarantee day+time+instructor consistency, but it’s a great way to get your kids in the water if you are waiting for a recurring time slot to open or if you want your child to brush up on a few skills. Instructors also take notes about each swimmer after their lessons — noting any progress or shifts in the swimmer’s capabilities so that all our instructors are ready to tailor their lessons to your child’s ability.  

  • Do you require swim diapers?

    Yes! Please reference our swim diaper policy.

  • How long are the lessons?

    Our lessons are 30 minutes. If you have two or more kids, we are always happy to try and get them in overlapping lessons so that they are in the pool at the same time with different instructors. 

  • How long will it take my child to learn how to swim?

    There are so many variables to a child’s progress in swimming that there isn’t a general answer to this question. It depends on whether your child loves the water or is fearful to get in; their desire to learn; and how they learn. Just like in other activities and developmental stages, different children progress at different rates. It also depends on what your goals are for them: is it just to get them water safe, or is it to be ready for swim team? The benefit of private lessons is that we tailor the lessons based on their needs, which results in faster progress. We are always happy to talk about your goals and figure out the best plan of action.

  • Do parents get in the pool?

    Our one-on-one instruction means that we do not have parents get in the water. This will help your child develop a bond with their instructor, leading to a more positive swim experience. Parents are welcome to sit in the viewing gallery and watch lessons, though!  

  • How do I get feedback on my child's progress?

    Your child’s instructor will reserve a few minutes after every couple of lessons to check in with you about what they are working on, their lesson plan for the next couple of weeks, and any other feedback and progress! 


    If you have questions or concerns that you don’t feel are being addressed by the instructor, feel free to talk to the Deck Supervisor, or call or email us. Our number one goal is for your child to have a productive and fun time at swim lessons! 

  • Can I watch the lessons?

    Of course! We have a comfortable viewing gallery with chairs, magazines, and a kids play area!

  • What happens if my infant or child cries during lessons?

    Many children cry for their parents during lessons. While it can seem heartbreaking, it’s totally normal! Crying typically has to do with separation anxiety and being in a new environment with new sensory experiences. 


    Although each child progresses at a different pace, generally the tears stop around the fourth lesson, after they’ve begun to bond with their instructor.  Until then, our instructors might ask you to step out of sight in the viewing gallery, so your child can focus on the lesson and begin to connect with their instructor.  


    We know tears can be hard to sit through, but make sure to remain positive and upbeat about lessons and swimming. It’s so worth it once your child starts to love lessons! If your child persists in crying after five lessons, please let us know so we can brainstorm the best way to move forward!

  • Can we request a specific instructor?

    We cannot honor specific requests for instructors for recurring lessons. Rest assured that all of our instructors have a lot of experience and training working with children and teaching swim lessons, and we work to match your child to an instructor that we feel is best suited to their learning style and skill level. 

  • What happens if my child is sick?

    In order to protect the well-being of your child and other children, sick children are not permitted at Little Kickers Swim School or to participate in lessons.



    Little Kickers staff holds the right to refuse a participant who appears ill. You will be asked to take your child out of the facility, not to put your child in the pool, or to remove them from the pool if they exhibit any of the following symptoms or have any of the following conditions/diseases: 


    Any symptom which inhibits their participation in the lesson 

    Open oozing skin conditions 

    Fever (above 100°F under the arm, above 101°F in the mouth, about 102°F in the ear) 

    Diarrhea 

    Vomiting 

    Mouth sores caused by drooling 

    Rash with fever, unless a physician has determined, and stated in writing, that it is not a communicable disease 

    Pink or red conjunctiva with white or yellow eye discharge, until on antibiotics for 24 hours 

    Impetigo, until 24 hours of treatment 

    Strep throat, until 24 hours after treatment 

    Head lice, until 24 hours after completion of treatment 

    Scabies, until 24 hours after treatment 

    Chickenpox, until all lesions have dried and crusted 

    Whooping cough, until after 5 days of antibiotics 

    Hepatitis A virus, until 1 week after immune globulin has been administered


    Unless: 



    The child's physician signs a note stating that the child's condition is not contagious and they are permitted to swim. 



    Children who have been ill may enter the Little Kickers facility and attend lessons when: 



    They have been free of fever and vomiting  for 24 hours 

    They have been treated with an antibiotic for 24 hours 

    They are able to participate comfortably in all activities 

    They are free of open, oozing skin conditions and drooling 


  • What do we need to bring with us for lessons?

    Just a swimsuit, swim diaper, and a towel! We have goggles, toys and everything else the kids need for their lesson!

  • What foods should we avoid before lessons?

    Please refrain from giving your kids dairy or fruit for about an hour before swimming. It causes upset tummies especially if they are swallowing air or water, and can be very uncomfortable, often resulting in throw up or poop.

  • My child has sensory issues. How is that managed?

    Our swimming pool area can definitely get loud, especially afternoons right after school gets out and on the weekends. It can be bustling, with lots of excited children getting their energy out and enjoying the pool.  For children with sensory sensitivities, we definitely recommend bringing them in at quieter times of day, if possible.  But we want to make sure you’re informed so you can choose the best time for lessons for your sound-sensitive child. Please give us a call and we are happy to discuss which times are best for lower sensory times.

  • Learn more about our pool temperature, changing area and sanitation system

    STATE OF THE ART


    Little Kickers Swim School’s pool is state-of-the-at and we ensure that our pool is clean and warm for swimming every second of the day. We circulate the water in our pool at 500 gallons per minute which, given our pool’s size, is 6 times what is required by the Colorado Health Department. Our pool is maintained at a comfortable 90 degrees because a child that is warm will learn to swim more easily.


    CLEAN AND CLEAR


    Our UV sanitation system, working in tandem with our computer controlled chemical system, allows us to keep chlorine levels low and removes the cholramines that cause red eyes and skin irritation. UV light can destroy up to 99.9% of microorganisms such a Giardia and Cryptosporidium that chlorine at high levels won’t kill.


    PERFECT TEMP, EASY VIEWING


    The air temperature of our pool area is maintained at 92 degrees. A large glass wall provides optimal viewing, so you can easily watch your child’s progress every step of the way.


    FUN WHILE YOU WAIT


    Our fully stocked play area keeps the little ones busy while waiting for their lessons, and with private changing rooms and bathrooms to choose from, getting your swimmer ready for the pool is a breeze.

General Swim Lessons Policies 

  • Eating Prior to Lessons

    Refrain from giving your kids dairy or fruit for about an hour before swimming. It causes upset tummies especially if they are swallowing air or water, and can be very uncomfortable, often resulting in throw up or poop. Children complaining of a stomach ache during lessons as a result of eating before entering the water may be removed from lessons and the remainder of the time forfeited. 

  • Swim Diapers

    • At Little Kickers the cleanliness of our water is a huge priority. One way we do this is to ensure that kiddos who are not potty trained wear properly sized swim diapers with a double layer of protection. According to the CDC, no swim diaper holds fecal material beyond 3-5 minutes. By wearing snug fitting diapers we are increasing the likelihood of getting the full 5 minutes so we can get the kiddo out of the pool in time. It helps keep everyone safe and prevents shutting down the pool for lessons. 

    • Finis and Happy Nappy
    1. All children who are not potty trained (have had an accident in the last three months) must wear two snug-fitting reusable swim diapers. 
    2. The bottom layer must be a Finis brand Reusable Swim Diaper, and the top layer must be a Splash About brand Happy Nappy Swim Diaper. 

    • Please plan to change into swim diapers no more than 5 minutes before your kiddo’s lesson to reduce the risk of accidents before entering the pool. You are welcome to use our changing rooms or restrooms. 
    • Children should not wear swimsuits or additional layers over their swim diapers, as instructors must be able to perform periodic diaper checks during lessons. Instructors or the Desk Supervisor will notify parents/guardians if further inspection is required. 
    • Children that are wearing improper swim diaper attire will be removed from the water and asked to purchase a pair or change before being able to continue lessons. 
    • Disposable swim diapers of any kind will NOT be allowed in the pool.
    • Do not bring your child to lessons if they have had diarrhea within the past two days. 


  • Supervision

    • I understand and agree that only swimmers who are enrolled in swim lessons are allowed in the water. Parents/guardians do not get in the pool.
    •  I agree to assume all liability for my child(ren) and myself while at the Little Kickers Swim School. 
    • Parents/guardians must supervise their children before, during, and after their swimming class. 
    • Parents/guardians are required to remain in the Virginia Village shopping center - we need to be able to reach you and have you return as soon as possible in case of an emergency. Please let a staff member know if you are leaving the building to visit one of the neighboring businesses or to wait outside. 
  • Medical & Adaptive Needs

    I understand that I must disclose any of my child’s medical conditions that might impact his/her swimming, safety, and the safety of others (e.g. autism, seizures, ADHD, asthma). This information can be provided in the “Student Details” section of their iClassPro account. Please speak with a staff member if there are any questions. 

  • Sick Child Policy

    In order to protect the well-being of your child and other children, sick children are not permitted at Little Kickers Swim School or to participate in lessons.

Service and Facility

  • Cancellations: Inclement Weather

    Just as it is inside our four walls, your safety is important to us at all times. With the unpredictability of Colorado weather, we have implemented considerations for snow, extreme cold and ice, and severe storms. Depending on the severity of the weather event, we will either issue a delayed start, early closure, or a full-day cancellation. Families will be notified before 7AM or 1.5 hours before your scheduled lesson time. If we need to cancel your lesson, we will do our best to help reschedule impacted lessons. 


  • Cancellations: Poop/Vomit Closure

    At Little Kickers, the cleanliness of our water is a huge priority. Severe sickness will result in temporary pool closures. 


    A vomit incident may result in a closure of 30 minutes to an hour, a diarrhea incident may result in a closure through the next business day. As these incidents happen in real-time, we are often unable to provide advance notice of a closure. We will attempt to notify you via text and email if your lesson needs to be canceled. If we need to cancel your lesson, we will do our best to help reschedule impacted lessons. 

  • Photos

    Unless a parent expresses declined consent, it is understood that photos may be taken at Little Kickers and Kickin’ It facilities, and that any photo taken of children may be used for marketing (e-newsletters, announcements, TV, Facebook, Instagram, social media sites, etc.). 

  • Possession of Firearms

    Little Kickers Swim School prohibits the possession of firearms at its facilities and offices without the prior written consent of one of the owners of Little Kickers Swim School, regardless of whether the person possessing the firearm has a concealed carry permit.

  • Non-Discrimination

    We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind against our team members or clients. 

Swim Lesson Policies

    • There are no refunds for services rendered. 
  • Drop-In Lessons

    • Drop-In Lesson Passes can be purchased through the customer portal

    At Little Kickers we value our employees and want to ensure we respect their time in the water. As such, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late to your scheduled 30-minute lesson without notice we are not obligated to provide the remaining lesson time. These lessons will then be marked as a no show and either deducted from your lesson package, if applicable, or billed accordingly. Further, booked lessons you do not show up for and/or notify us in advance, will be billed in full. 

  • Lesson Cancellation Policy

    • For a same-day sick kiddo cancellation, please text 720.608.1590 by 8:00 AM or 4 hours before your lesson so we can cancel the lesson. 
    • Sicknesses That Necessitate Canceling a Lesson: 
    1. Diarrhea within the past 48 hours 
    2. Fever within the past 48 hours 
    3. Ear, nose, or throat infections/issues 
    • For all other cancellations, please log into your account and create a “Future Absence” for the lesson. To avoid a penalty for a late cancellation this must be done a minimum of 12 hours before your lesson start time. 
    • If you have canceled a lesson in accordance with our cancellation policy that lesson will remain available for you to reschedule.
    • In the rare instance we need to cancel your lesson, we will make every effort to accommodate you for the inconvenience.

    • Lessons canceled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy are able to be rescheduled within 90 days of the original lesson. 
    • Makeup tokens will be generated after the original lesson date & time has passed.
    • Makeup tokens will remain available to use if you withdraw from ongoing lessons.

    • You can view your kiddo’s Makeup tokens and their expiration dates through the customer portal. 
    • We do not issue credit/refunds for classes you have canceled. This includes choosing to cancel a class because your regularly assigned instructor is out and there is a substitute instructor. 
    • Makeup Tokens are not eligible to be applied to your ongoing lesson membership or for any monetary credit.
  • Withdraw Requests

    • Families must notify us of their intent to withdraw before their next scheduled payment date.

Withdrawal requests submitted on or after the scheduled payment date will apply to the following billing cycle. 
    • There are no refunds for services rendered. 
    • Any reschedules on your account and/or account credit will remain available to you until their expiration date. 
    • If you do not plan to attend your remaining lessons, please let us know—we’re happy to convert those lessons into reschedules so they can be used at a later time (subject to standard reschedule policies and expiration timelines).
  • Pause (Illness or Injury)

    We know that sometimes life throws curveballs—whether it’s a sudden illness, injury, or medical recovery period. At Little Kickers Swim School, we want to support your family’s well-being while helping you maintain your swimmer’s spot in the program. 


    If your child needs to temporarily step away from lessons due to illness or injury, we offer the option to pause your account and hold your spot for up to 6 weeks. 


    Here’s how it works: 

    • Families may pause billing and hold their regular weekly timeslot for up to 6 consecutive weeks due to medical reasons.
    • A written note from a licensed healthcare provider (doctor, physical therapist, etc.) is required to approve the pause. 
    • During the pause, no lessons will be charged, and your swimmer’s timeslot will be reserved until you’re able to return. 
    • If the swimmer is unable to return after 6 weeks, we will discuss next steps based on instructor availability and family preference. 

    Important Notes:


    • Requests for a medical pause must be submitted in writing to our Front Desk or Registration Team, along with the supporting documentation. 
    • This policy is intended for temporary medical circumstances only, not general schedule changes or travel. 
    • Retroactive pauses (for missed lessons prior to the pause request) cannot be granted. 
    • We’re here to help make your swimmer’s return to the water as smooth as possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need support during your pause.

Waivers

For the safety of all participants, all required waivers must be signed prior to entering the pool. 


This includes: 

- A signed waiver on the parent or guardian account 

- A signed waiver for each participating child 


Waivers must be completed before a swimmer's first lesson. Families who arrive without completed waivers will not be permitted to participate until all forms are submitted. 


Waivers can be signed electronically through the parent portal or in person at the front desk.
