Welcome Back Courtney!

2009-06-16T08:08:00.000-07:00

I wanted to extend a big welcome back to Courtney! Courtney taught private lessons for me last summer and just graduated from UCSB on Sunday! She is currently teaching for me again, and has availability for private lessons! If you were trying to get a afternoon time slot, and I didn't have any spaces available for you, she has more availability and has been doing an amazing job! She is wonderful with the kids, (of course she is, otherwise I wouldn't have her working for me! ) and is eager to be in the water! This is a great option for families with 2 or more children, as we can now teach 2 private lessons at the same time! I am happy to have her back in the pool and on the schedule!

New Toddler Class!

2009-06-16T08:01:00.000-07:00

Due to the amazing response for Toddler Classes I have added a Friday night at 5:30 pm class! This is because the Wednesday and Thursday evening Toddler classes are now full! If you are looking for an evening class, this new Friday at 5:30 pm class will start this Friday, June 19th. I hope this will accomodate some evening lesson needs!

Group Make-up Policy

2009-06-10T13:08:00.000-07:00

Please remember to do your makeup lessons either the week before, the week of, or the week after! I think there has been some confusion to this point, the point of the series is to be consistent to achieve the best results, when we miss weeks or months on end, it makes it hard for the kids to make progress, and we all want to see the best possible results! The 11 lessons are for 11 weeks in a row, makeup lessons do not carry over to the end of the series, or months down the line! Also, keep in mind to give the students the opportunity to be successful! Sometimes when we take a significant amount of time off from lessons, (could be a month, but certainly 8 or 10 months!) there can be some regression. We need to allow them to grow back into their comfort of the water. Don't be discouraged if the first time, or even the first few times back, they aren't doing the same level of skills as they used to do! This is a big learning step, and the best way to work through it is to be supportive and loving and allow them to be where they are at! If we are comfortable in the water and know that each day brings us closer to happy babies, we will see the progress! This is also true for making the step up from baby class to toddler class, the toddler classes are more structured and take some adjusting to. Don't give up on your child! The end result is worth it!

Swim With Phyn's New Home!

2009-03-05T15:17:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for being patient as I was going through this massive transition but Swim With Phyn is back and better than ever before! I have a new location in a great INDOOR pool!

I am now swimming at SB Aquatics, the scuba shop on Hollister next to 7-11 so I am even closer for all the Santa Barbara and Montecito folks! The pool is kept at 92 degrees, and because it is indoors it makes for more fun on rain days! I also have a "store" next door to the scuba shop at
5826 Hollister Ave., which eventually will have retail supplies so it will be your one stop shop for all your swimming and baby swim needs! Right now it provides a place to get changed and for the kids to play in before and after swim lessons! I am taking sign-ups for private lessons and group baby and toddler classes, and will be offering a "Spring Break" Promotion too! (Swim 4 days in one week, and get the 5th day free!)

My current Baby classes are:
Monday at 4:30 pm
Tuesday at 5:30 pm
Friday at 10 am
Saturday at 11 am

My current Toddler classes are:
Wednesday at 3 pm
Wednesday at 6 pm
Friday at 10:30 am
Saturday at 10:30

As always, if you have a group of at least 3 people of the same age and ability that would like to commit to a different time slot, we can always add a different time slot for a class!

I am excited about my new "home" and look forward to seeing everyone and showing the new pool and shop to all! I can't wait to see you and getting all our kids back in the water!

Thanks to everyone for their patience as I have been transitioning into the new pool at Santa Barbara Aquatics at 5826 Hollister! That is next to the 7-11 in old town Goleta. Now that we have been having rain, I have been even MORE grateful for my indoor location! My "store" is starting to look pretty good too! I am still not completely transferred over there, so I am not over at the pool at all times, so if you need to reach me, give me a call!

I am very excited about getting everyone back into the pool! I am still taking clients for private lessons and I am adding some new baby and toddler classes! I am adding Baby classes Tuesday at 4:30, and Wednesday at 5:30 in addition to the current classes Friday at 10 am, and Saturday at 11 am. Baby classes are for babies 0 – 2 and a parent needs to be in the water during the lesson.

I will run the new classes for about a month to see if there is interest. You are welcome to show up for the classes to try them out, you don't have to call in advance for the group classes! The rate is still the same as before... $15 per class or a series of 11 for $150.

I am also adding a Toddler class on Wednesday at 6 pm, in addition to the current class Saturday at 10:30, the price for toddler classes are $20, or a series of 11 for $200. Toddler classes are for children ages 2 – 3.5 and also have a parent in the water.

You can also organize a group of 3 or more people with similar ages and abilities to commit to a time slot and get the group rate at your own time choice! If you are interested in forming your own group, let me know! I look forward to talking to and seeing everyone soon!

So in summary:

Baby Classes
Tuesday at 4:30 PM
Wednesday at 5:30 PM
Friday at 10 AM
Saturday at 11 AM

Toddler Classes
Wednesday at 6 PM
Saturday at 10:30 AM
