The best way to do this is to start with a two hour available window on your available days. Then once you've got your first booking for the day, reduce the hours to show you are only available on times directly adjacent to the booked class. As the adjacent hours fill up, continue to add available hours and grow a multi-hour day with no gaps. If you travel between client locations, it is recommended to block ~15-30 min between lessons to allow you time to clean up, give feedback, use the bathroom, have a snack etc. and arrive on time for your next class.

Of course! We encourage all Swim Buddies instructors to manage their own work schedule with what works best for you!

If you are running late to your class, connect with your Client ASAP with updates. When you arrive, you could still enjoy the remainder of the booked class time. Accommodations may be arranged between you and your client to make up the time. Note: Your client may report your late arrivals to Swim Buddies. Instructors that show a pattern of late arrivals may be removed from the platform.

We encourage your calendar updated and keep cancellations rare. This builds confidence between you and your clients and helps your business grow. In the case where you do need to cancel, ensure to contact your client first to let them know as soon as possible and then go ahead and cancel the class. Note: you cannot cancel a class once the class time has started.
