SMALL SCHOOLS SUMMER PREP LORI’S H2O SKILLS LORI WEBER, OWNER
Lori’s H2O Skills is a warm water, indoor, year-round, learn to swim facility. We are located in Milford, Ohio. We provide the highest quality of one on one private swimming lessons in our Community. Our goal is to teach lessons to all ages of children, adults and persons with special needs and provide safety education to parents/guardians. Our in-house lessons are 15 minutes of perpetual swimming. The need for learning to swim and safety in and around the water intensifies during the Spring in preparation for Summer. Therefore, we also provide travel lessons to homes and Community pools during the Spring/Summer. We increase the private lesson visit to 30 minutes so that we can include educational safety. Travel lessons allow us to touch many more lives. Price is determined by a 10 mile radius of our stand alone facility. If someone request us to come to their home or Community pool that is outside this radius, will do that with an extra gap/travel fee. Remember to check with your insurance and liability provider to see if they include this service.
SWIM TO SHORE: LEASED FACILITY CASIE SHORE, OWNER My California swim school resides in a cozy retail space of a mere 2500 square feet in Murietta. Although space is always a challenge for us, we love our small facility because it creates an intimate learning environment to house our private and semi-private classes. We like to launch our summer season by inviting our clients to participate in a ‘Floaty-Free Summer Challenge’. Our instructors educate the parents on all the reasons that floaty toys are dangerous and can hinder student progress while learning water safety skills. We also hype up how much fun it is to enjoy the water with their children especially in our area where the summer heat rises to triple digits. Parents are then invited to take a Floaty-Free Pledge for the summer. Participating clients take the pledge by giving us their signed floaties agreeing to commit to being 100% present and within arms’ reach of their child while swimming throughout the summer. We hang the signed floaties up inside our facility to be a constant reminder to the parents of their pledge to supervise their children. At the end of summer, all participants receive a free ice cream cone from Cold Stone!
