Why does SWIMkids USA close for four weeks each year?
In order to offer twelve four-week monthly sessions in a 52-week year and to give our staff an occasional break, SWIMkids USA closes for four weeks spread throughout the year. Pro-rating lessons each month if we were closed for a holiday (for example, Monday lessons for Memorial Day) would be too difficult and the students’ progress would suffer because so many holidays are on Mondays. We close for one week for spring break in March, for summer break in August (this year, August 17-24), for Thanksgiving break in November, and for Christmas break in December. We are open other holidays such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Halloween. For billing, some months may have three lessons, some five, but by the end of the year, it all balances out.
