Can my child always have the same instructor?

Can my child have the same swim instructor?Can my child always have the same instructor?
OK… we’re going to have to go in the broom closet and speak very hush hush here but… you could just call the office and ask them, “Hey beautiful… can you tell me when “Your favorite instructor’s name” is working ‘cause we’d sure LOVE to have them”. That kind of buttering up has been noted to work! The truth is, we have some rock star instructors (We call them FAB affectionately) who keep similar schedules ALL year long because THEY CAN! But, the majority of our rock star instructors have college schedules or DAY JOBS that change every few months or so. Our managers get VERY GOOD at noticing who y’all love… and they’re often “consulted” by the office to assign classes. So, the bottom line is still, “NO we can’t guarantee specific instructors”… but we sure do try”.

No need to worry… All of our instructors teach the same skills, just with their own personal flair. Our instructors (18 yrs or older) are trained through the same intensive 52 hours of initial training and 108 within the first year by Jon Foss and a team of very experienced staff. Our program is a combination of water safety, technique curriculum, child development, motivational techniques, games, and customer service. All staff receive weekly training and must meet performance score benchmarks each session. You won’t find a more creative, energetic, and fun group of teachers in the WORLD!
