Pool Requirements (All pools are reviewed for teaching suitability.)
- Must be a private, backyard pool heated to 90°F
- Pool should be full-sized (not a lap pool or spool) for most groups
- At least one deck edge swimmers can reach
- Provide 3 photos showing the entire pool from different sides
If I don’t have enough swimmers for a full group?
We will help fill open spots from our placement list.
Can I have more than four swimmers at my pool?
Yes. Mike does not take more than 4 swimmers per class. However, if schedules allow, additional time may be added for another group.
Can mixed abilities swim together?
Separate groups work best when levels differ significantly.
Do groups need to be full before registering?
No. We recommend that the host register FIRST to reserve the date/time. Hosts will then be sent the information needed for friends to register for their specific group. All invited swimmers must be registered 90 days prior to the start date, after which we will offer any remaining spots to our Placement List.
