How It Works
Group Class Policies
Simple, predictable, and built around consistent weekly practice.
Monthly Membership
Group classes run on a recurring monthly membership of four 30-minute classes. Start after the first week of the month and your first payment is prorated. Major holidays are prorated too.
Same Spot Every Week
Once enrolled, your swimmer keeps the same day and time each week until their instructor or supervisor lets you know they are ready to move up a level.
Make-Up Tokens
Miss a class and you receive a token for a make-up class that you schedule in Captyn. Classes canceled for weather or instructor illness also earn a token.
Register Online
All group class registration happens online and is first come, first served. Instructors fill fast, so use the waitlist to be notified when a spot opens.
Switching Times
Need a different day or time? Join the waitlist for the class you want and you will be moved into the new spot when it opens.
Canceling
Memberships renew monthly until you cancel with 30 days written notice.
How It Works
Lessons at Your Swimmer's Pace
Private lessons are 30 minutes and move entirely at your swimmer's pace. Semi-private lessons pair two swimmers of similar ability, at the instructor's discretion.
- Private lessons at Anchor Wellness Studio, registered through Captyn.
- Adaptive private lessons with certified Swim Whisperers for swimmers with sensory, motor, or physical challenges, water trauma, or anxiety.
- New to Superfish? Check with your preferred instructor before booking, since some instructors are full.
- Instructors fill fast. Use the waitlist to be notified when a spot opens.
