Pricing

Private lessons, priced plainly.

One-on-one coaching in your own pool, often for less than a 30-minute class at a crowded swim school. No surprises, no overages, paid up front.

Before you book

More lesson, less money.

Allie is private, one-on-one coaching in your own pool: 45 focused minutes, just your child, no facility and no waiting a turn. Compare that to a typical 30-minute class at a local swim school, usually shared with other kids, and it's a better lesson for less. If a larger group class is what you're after, those are genuinely good options too, and I'm happy to point you toward one.

Local swim schools

No contract

No long-term contract. You'll sign a short service agreement with a few basic terms and liability disclaimers before lessons begin.

Good to know

Do I need my own pool?

Yes. Lessons take place at your own home pool, ideally one where your child can stand for at least part of it. A backyard pool of your own is a must.

What if my child won't get in?

Your reserved time is held for you, so the lesson fee still applies. By booking, you're confirming your swimmer will get in the water and won't throw a fit, see Is this a fit? for the simple readiness checklist.

How long until I see progress?

It depends on the starting point and how often you practice. Every swimmer moves at their own pace, and Allie sets a realistic goal at the first lesson.
