Swimming is not an instinctive skill for humans. We cannot survive in water unless we are taught basic skills. All adults and children should learn these crucial skills as soon as possible. Point Me to the Water can make that happen!
ABOUT US
My name is Carol Ann Redfield, founder and owner of Point Me to the Water. After retiring from the Army as a lieutenant colonel in 2008, I planted my roots in North Carolina to raise my kids. I come from a family of triathletes, so with time on my hands I started coaching the local chapter of Girls on the Run and also trained 22 women to compete in a triathlon in April 2010. It was incredible to train alongside these ladies, all teachers and their friends, and help them tap into their inner athlete.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
01 How do I sign up for private lessons or fitness classes?
Information regarding our 2025 swim season is coming soon! If you are intrested in signing up for Water Aerobics or Masters, please reach out to pointmetothewater@gmail.com.
-
02 How many sessions until my child knows how to swim?
This is determined by your own goals and expectations for your child’s swimming. Additionally, their abilities and confidence in the water affect their progress.
-
03 Can I add additional private lessons after my initial package of 4 lessons? Should I need another session?
All participants are required to initially sign up for a package containing four (4) private swim lessons. However, you are able to sign up for as many sessions as you would like after that. The need for another session is determined by your goals and your child’s swimming abilities.
-
04 Can I do lessons at my pool exclusively?
It is dependent on pool space available, the time you are available to schedule, and the instructor’s ability to be at a pool at the scheduled time. Please reach out to pointmetothewater@gmail.com to inquire.
-
05 Am I guaranteed to always have the same instructor?
Your instructor will be assigned each lesson package you sign up for. That instructor will schedule four (4) lessons with you. If you would like to sign up for another session, we will make every effort to keep the instructor you request, but it ultimately is dependent on your and the instructor’s availability.
-
06 What is the weather cancellation policy?
Participants cannot cancel due to the weather. Your swim instructor will reach out to you in the event of a weather cancellation.
-
07 When am I able to cancel?
Cancellations within 24 hours of your scheduled lesson are not allowed. If a lesson is canceled within 24 hours, another lesson will not be rescheduled, and the missed lesson will not be refunded. Cancellations outside of 24 hours prior to the lesson is permitted.
-
08 How should I schedule lessons if we are going on vacation?
We suggest that your initial four (4) lessons be scheduled within a two week timeframe to result in the best progress for your swimmers. If you know you are going to be going on vacation, it is best to schedule around that vacation.
-
09 How do I pay?
Payment is due prior to scheduling a lesson package. You can pay with credit card in Captyn, Venmo (@carol-redfield), Zelle (pointmetothewater@gmail.com) or by cash or check (made payable to “Point Me to the Water, LLC”).
-
10 Can I tip my swim instructor?
Yes, you are always able to tip your instructor after a lesson. However, tipping is not expected or required.
-
11 Can I sign up for a semi-private session?
We do offer semi-private lessons when requested. However, we suggest they are only used for swimmers of similar abilities and needs. If you would like a semi-private lesson, reach out to pointmetothewater@gmail.com for more information and pricing.
-
12 What happens to our lesson if we are late?
Our instructors often have scheduled lessons back-to-back. If you are late, the time you are late counts towards the 30-minute lesson. The lesson will end at the time it was originally scheduled to end.
-
13 Can I watch my child’s lesson?
You are always able to watch the lessons, but we suggest that you sit to the side so that your child gets the most out of their lesson. If a family member hovers too close to the lesson, the participant tends not to learn to trust their instructor as they look to their family instead.
-
14 Can I leave the pool while my child is taking their lessons?
We ask everyone to stay on property during the lesson. After your lesson is over, the instructor is not able to watch your child.
