Frequently Asked Questions
Can Turtle Cove provide invoices for school scholarship reimbursement?
Yes! Turtle Cove Swim Academy is happy to provide detailed invoices that families can submit for school scholarship or educational reimbursement programs, when applicable.
Invoices can include the information typically required by scholarship programs, such as the student’s name, dates of service, lesson type, and payment details. If your school or scholarship administrator needs something specific, just let our team know — we’re always happy to help make the process as smooth as possible.
If you have questions about documentation or would like an invoice prepared, please reach out to our office and we’ll take care of it for you.
Where are you located?
We are conveniently located in the Above Athletics Complex at 14797 Philips Highway, Suite 105, Jacksonville, FL 32256.
Do Guardians Have To Get In The Water?
Absolutely not! All lessons are given exclusively by our instructors. Guardian participation is not required in the pool.
However, for group classes, all students must now wait their turn by sitting on the deck rather than standing on the table in the pool.
Along with this safety practice we require one parent to sit poolside, within arm’s reach of their child if the child is age 5 or younger. Children can fall into the pool while waiting their turn; therefore, a parent must guard them during this time.
If you have siblings who need to be with you it is okay if they are on the deck sitting in our chairs or in their baby carrier.
What days are you open?
We are open seven days a week.
Does Turtle Cove require contracts?
No contract is required. However, we do require a strict 30 day cancellation notice.
Do you offer sibling swim lessons?
Yes, this is one of our signature offerings. Contact 904-871-9718 to set up your custom sibling swim lesson.
What qualifications do your Instructors have?
All instructors are certified through Swim University and hold active CPR, AED, and First Aid credentials.
Does my child need a swim diaper?
Yes — if your child is under age 3 or not potty-trained, they’ll need to wear a reusable or disposable swim diaper with a swimsuit or shorts over it. This helps ensure a clean and safe pool environment.
