Questions before the first splash?

Dinosaur Swim Club is mobile. Lessons happen at your backyard pool, or at a community or apartment pool when you have expressed permission from management or your HOA.

Every lesson is one hour. That gives the coach enough time for warm-up, focused skill work, practice, and a quick recap.

2 to 200 million. That is a dino joke, because we are hilarious. But seriously, we work with toddlers, teens, and adult beginners. Coaches adapt lessons to each swimmer's age, ability, confidence, and goals.

No, and that is intentional. Some programs promise swimming in a set number of lessons, but define success very narrowly. We do not force kids underwater or rush skills just to claim a guarantee. Our approach is swim lessons, evolved: we meet swimmers at their level, build real water safety first, and use skilled coaching to challenge them forward at the right time.

Each coach has their own teaching style and setup, so equipment varies. It is helpful to have a pool noodle, kickboard, and diving toys nearby if you have them. Your coach can tell you what they plan to bring when final scheduling is confirmed.

After you submit the booking form, a $100 deposit request is sent by email within 24 hours. The remaining balance is due before the first scheduled lesson.

If you are not matched with a coach within 30 days, the $100 deposit is refundable upon request. We will keep working to match you unless you ask for the refund. Once matched and scheduled, the deposit applies toward your lesson or package.

Yes. We understand that a payment plan or custom package is sometimes what makes lessons possible. Contact us directly and we will work with you to find an option that fits your budget and helps your swimmer get started.

Coach availability varies, but we serve many Dallas-area neighborhoods including North Dallas, University Park, Highland Park, Lake Highlands, White Rock, Garland, Richardson, Rockwall, Rowlett, Plano, McKinney, Carrollton, Addison, Grapevine, Roanoke, Southlake, and Keller.

It depends on coach availability and your schedule, but in most cases we can get families matched and started within one to two weeks.

Bring sunscreen, a towel, goggles, and a favorite pool toy or bath toy to show the coach. After matching, your coach may suggest anything else that would help your swimmer.

Yes. You can split a one-hour lesson into two 30-minute lessons at no extra cost. Up to four kids may share a one-hour session, with no more than two swimmers in the water at a time with one coach. Some families also prefer two swimmers switching off for the full hour. Your coach can help choose the best setup for your swimmers' skills and needs.

Yes, with the same shared-lesson rules. Up to four swimmers may share one hour, with no more than two in the water at a time with one coach. Multiple families can share a session as long as Dinosaur Swim Club knows ahead of time and every family completes the required release paperwork.

Yes. Current Dinosaur Swim Club families can earn a free lesson when they refer a friend who books and begins active lessons.

Absolutely. Parents are always welcome to watch lessons, and many like to stay close by. Some swimmers focus better when parents are a little out of sight, so your coach may suggest stepping back occasionally. If you stay nearby but not poolside, please remain close enough to see or hear your child and be ready to assist if needed.

Yes. Every Dinosaur Swim Club coach is CPR/AED certified, background checked, and has coaching experience with kids.

If there is a storm warning, or lightning has been reported within 20 miles of an outdoor lesson, the lesson will be rescheduled for safety.

Party Guard is pool party support from a swim coach for $50 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The coach helps monitor pool activity and support safer swimming. This service is not lifeguarding, and swim coaches are not lifeguards.
