🚗 Heads up, Makai families!
Tomorrow, September 12, the parking lot will be unavailable due to an event at Congregation Beth Shalom.
Please plan to park on the street and give yourself a little extra time to get to your swimmer’s lesson. 💙
Lessons are running as usual. See you at the pool! 🌊

Cold + flu season is creeping in, so here’s a little reminder from your Makai instructors. 🤧💙
We LOVE seeing our swimmers every week, but swim lessons are close contact. We’re holding hands, catching jumps, helping with floats, and spending a whole lot of time face-to-face with our swimmers.
If your child is actively sick, please keep them home. Even if it means missing a lesson, giving them time to rest helps protect their instructor, their fellow swimmers, and the rest of our Makai ‘ohana.
And a quick reminder: credits and refunds are not provided for missed classes, including illness. If you know your swimmer will be absent at least 24 hours in advance, please use the Trade Book to trade your lesson.
A missed swim lesson is always better than sharing the germs. 🫶🌊

A little extra support without taking away the opportunity to build real swim skills. 🌊
Floatie Mats are one of our favorite tools for helping swimmers practice balance, kicking, body position, climbing on and off, and moving through the water with confidence.

Use them during supervised pool play to turn practice into play, because sometimes the best learning happens when kids are just having fun. 🧡

Floatie Mats are available at Makai and on our website! Find them through the link in our bio.

Cold weather doesn’t mean swim lessons have to feel cold! 🥶🌊
Our pool is heated, and with the right gear, your swimmer can stay comfortable before, during, and after class.
A few Makai cold-weather favorites:
🌺 Splash About wetsuits for an extra layer of warmth in the water
🌺 Swim caps to help little heads stay a bit warmer
🌺 A dry towel, robe, or Splash About After Swim Onesie ready for the second they get out
🌺 A cozy beanie for the trip home
And skip the rash guard when warmth is the goal! Rash guards are designed for sun protection, not insulation, and can actually make swimmers feel colder once they’re wet. For chilly swim days, a wetsuit is the better choice. 🌊
Need to stock up for cooler swim days? You can shop cold-weather swim gear at Makai before or after lessons, or find our collection through the link in bio. 🧡
Stay warm + swim happy!

Rain in the forecast? ☔️ That doesn’t necessarily mean swim lessons are canceled!

At Makai, we’re here rain or shine. Our pool is heated, our changing room has space heaters, and we have patio heaters on the deck to help keep those rainy swim days a little cozier. 🌧️🏊

We’ll only cancel when weather conditions make it unsafe to swim, like lightning, hail, or severe storms.

The most important thing to remember: unless you hear from us, plan on coming to your regularly scheduled lesson!

If we do need to cancel, we’ll contact you as quickly as possible by email and/or text and follow up with information about a make-up opportunity or account credit.

And for our swimmers who run a little chilly, ask us about wetsuits, parkas, baby wraps, and extra towels available for purchase. 🩵

Save this one for the next time your weather app starts looking a little soggy. ☔️

💩 Yep, we’re talking about p**p in the pool.

It’s not the most glamorous part of swim lessons, but it IS an important one. A f***l incident can affect everyone using the pool, which means sometimes we have to pause lessons while we clean, treat, and make sure the water is safe before swimmers return.

Swipe through for answers to some of the questions we hear most:
🌊 Why does the pool have to close?
⏰ How long can a closure last?
🧡 What happens if your class is affected?
💳 What can you do with a credit?
🩲 And most importantly, how can families help prevent closures?

One of the biggest ways to help: swimmers who are under 3 and/or not fully potty trained need to arrive with the proper Happy Nappy + swim diaper setup. And if your swimmer has an upset stomach or loose stool, please let us know before they get in the water.

Nobody wants a p**p closure, but when it happens, keeping our swimmers safe comes first. 🧡

Save this post so you know exactly what to expect if a closure ever affects your class.

Play is part of learning, both in swim lessons and at home! 🌊

Diving for rings and favorite pool toys is a simple way to make practice feel like a game while working on important skills like breath control, self-submersion, underwater movement, and confidence.

Keep toys at a depth that matches your swimmer’s current ability, never encourage them to stay underwater longer than they’re comfortable with, and always actively supervise. For beginning swimmers, stay within arm’s reach. 💙

Next pool day, toss in a few dive toys and let them learn through play!
