Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you teach?

I have experience working with adults and children of various skill levels. I have guided babies as young as 6 months old, as well as older adults, into the water for the first time.

I am currently accepting swimmers ages 1–13.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form. I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

What areas do you service?

Swim lessons are currently offered throughout Orange County for families with access to a private pool. Preferably locations close to/in Chester, Goshen, Middletown, Minisink Valley, Washingtonville and Newburgh NY.

Locations that require travel time of 40 minutes or more will be subject to an additional travel fee.

Cancellations? What happens in bad weather?

I understand schedules can change. As a mobile service, lesson scheduling is organized and based on travel routes and to ensure efficient scheduling, please try to provide at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations.

Lessons are always welcomed to be rescheduled in the event of unsafe weather or pool conditions or last-minute schedule changes.

Payment options?

Payment is due at the time of each lesson. Accepted payment methods include cash and digital payment options, such as PayPal, Venmo or Zelle.

Zelle or PayPal is preferred, thank you!

What makes Avant Mobile Swim different?

My approach goes beyond simply teaching swim skills- I focus on building confidence and trust in the water. Every swimmer learns differently, and I believe some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when children are encouraged to move past the fears or doubts holding them back.
