General Information Inquiry
Thanks so much for reaching out to Haley's Little Fish! We are so excited that you are taking this first step toward making sure your little one is safe and confident in and around the water. You are already doing something incredible for your child and we cannot wait to meet your family!
How It Works
At Haley's Little Fish, we teach ALL of our children basic water safety because every child deserves to feel safe in and around the water! The way we teach depends on your child's age and where they are developmentally. For our tiniest fish starting at just 6 months old, we focus on floating first. This means your baby will be able to find their air on their own if they ever find themselves in water alone. For our walking fish, we teach a swim and float combination that builds both confidence and safety at the same time. Once your child has mastered this part of our program, your instructor will sit down with you and talk about what comes next including advanced lessons, stroke classes, swim team prep and fun groups!
Days
We offer what we call sessions. Each session is 8 lessons that meet on either Monday and Wednesday OR Tuesday and Thursday at the same time each week for 4 weeks in a row. We offer morning, afternoon and evening options to make things as easy as possible for your family!
Times and Duration
All of our lessons are 10 minutes long and trust us, those 10 minutes are packed! It may not seem like a long time but it is a lot for our little fish who are working hard every single second they are in that water. Short and repetitive lessons are truly the most effective way for children to learn and actually hold onto these skills long term.
Advanced Lessons
This is such a fun milestone and we are so proud of every single fish that gets here! Once your child has mastered the swim and float combination, your instructor will talk with you about moving into our advanced lessons. Advanced lessons shift to a 20 minute format and move into a small group setting at the same price you are already used to. We have found that at this stage, learning alongside other swimmers is so good for their confidence and their growth! If you love the one on one time and want to keep that for your child, you are always welcome to purchase two back to back lesson slots to keep that private 1:1 experience. We want every family to feel good about the option that works best for them and we are so grateful that you trust us with your child at every stage of this journey!
Weekend and Drop-In Lessons
We know life gets busy and we never want that to stand in the way of your child learning to be safe in the water! That is why we offer weekend lessons on Friday afternoons and evenings and Saturday mornings, as well as drop-in lessons available throughout the week as openings come up. These are perfect for first timers or for families with schedules that change from week to week. We want to make this work for you!
Weekend Lessons: Weekend lesson signups open every Sunday at Noon for the upcoming weekend. Book one weekend at a time and enjoy the flexibility!
Drop-In Lessons: Drop-in signups also open every Sunday at Noon for the week ahead. Availability changes all the time so check the website often because spots go fast!
Signing Up
Monthly Sessions: We enroll one month at a time so you are never locked into a long term commitment. Here is how our signup process works for each group of families!
For our current families: We are so grateful for you and we never want you to lose your spot! Invoices go out between the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th of each month. You will have until NOON on the 19th to pay your invoice and secure your spot for the following session. We hold your exact time and day for you and we want to make sure you never miss it! Please keep an eye out for that invoice because if it is not paid by NOON on the 19th your spot will be released to new families at 5:00 PM that same day.

Open Enrollment
Once a year we do something really special called Open Enrollment and it is one of our favorite times of year! Open Enrollment is a full reset where every single slot opens up at the same time for both current and new families. This is such a great opportunity for our current families to take a look at their schedules and switch to a day or time that works even better for them. It is also the best chance for new families to jump in and become part of the Haley's Little Fish family! We announce Open Enrollment in advance so make sure you are following us on social media and keeping an eye on your inbox so you do not miss it. Spots fill up fast and we would love for your family to be part of it!
