How EVO's Perpetual Enrollment Works: What New Parents Should Know

EVO Swim School uses perpetual enrollment. In EVO's words, "There are no sessions," and once enrolled, "your child will be in lessons until we receive notice indicating otherwise." Tuition is billed monthly, your child keeps a regular weekly class time, and there is no re-registering every few weeks.

For parents used to session-based sign-ups, the EVO Swim School enrollment policy can feel unfamiliar at first. Here is how enrollment, billing, and breaks work in practice.

How Perpetual Enrollment Works at EVO

The full enrollment policy lives on EVO's policies and procedures page. Most families only need to understand three parts: how enrollment starts, what perpetual means day to day, and how it differs from session-based programs.

How Enrollment Starts

Families choose a class time on the classes and schedules page and complete a pre-registration form. EVO's team then contacts you to finalize enrollment, and your payment method is not charged until enrollment is complete and the amount is confirmed with you. If you enroll mid-month, the first month's tuition is prorated. The annual registration fee of $35 per child or $45 per family is collected at enrollment or on January 25 each year.

What "Perpetual" Means Day to Day

Once enrolled, your child stays in the same weekly class until you tell EVO otherwise. Babies who start in Starfish can move into Otter, then Seal and beyond, all under one continuous enrollment. Advancement depends on age, independence, speed, and confidence, so your child moves up when ready rather than waiting for a session to end.

How Swim Lesson Auto Enrollment Works

Parents often ask how swim lesson auto enrollment works, and perpetual enrollment is EVO's version of it. Your spot carries forward each month, and tuition is collected on a set schedule, much like any monthly membership. The difference from a session model is that nothing expires. You never race other families for a spot when a new session opens, and your child's routine stays steady through the school year, summer break, and the holidays.

Swim School Monthly Billing Explained

Monthly billing at EVO follows a predictable calendar. Knowing the key dates makes it easy to plan around tuition and avoid surprises.

The Monthly Billing Calendar

Tuition is collected in advance for the following month of classes.

Date What Happens
18th of the monthFamilies paying by cash or check can request an emailed invoice
25th of the monthTuition is collected for the next month of classes
Following business dayUnpaid tuition is collected using the electronic billing method on file
Last day of the monthInvalid credit cards must be updated, or the child is dropped from their class spot

If the 18th or 25th falls on a weekend or holiday, the date moves to the next business day.

Your First Month

Under the EVO Swim School enrollment policy, payment is due at the time of enrollment and is prorated if you enroll mid-month. After that, tuition follows the regular schedule and is collected on the 25th for the next month of classes. Depending on when you enroll, your first payment and the first regular payment may fall close together. EVO confirms the charge amount with you before your payment method is billed, and the front desk can walk you through the exact dates for your family.

What Does Not Change Your Monthly Bill

Monthly tuition stays flat regardless of how the calendar falls. When a month includes a fifth lesson, there is no extra charge. When a lesson lands on a holiday or a swim school closure, tuition is not prorated. The result is a consistent monthly amount that is easy to budget for.

Can I Pause Swim Lessons?

Yes, within limits. If you are asking "can I pause swim lessons for a trip or a busy season," EVO offers two ways to step away: a short vacation hold that keeps your class spot, or a longer break from lessons.

Vacation Holds for Two to Four Weeks

Summer travel and holiday trips are common for East Valley families, especially when afternoons climb past 110 degrees. EVO allows vacation holds of not less than two weeks and not more than four weeks. You reserve your child's class spot by paying half the per-class tuition for the time you will be away. Holds must be scheduled with the front desk before your dates of absence, and classes missed during a hold are not eligible for makeup lessons.

Taking a Longer Break

For anything longer than a vacation hold, families can take a break from lessons. EVO's policy states that all requests to take a break must be submitted in writing by email before the payment deadline. Sending your request early keeps the process simple, and the front desk can help if you are unsure whether a vacation hold or a break is the better fit.

Withdrawing and Coming Back

Families may withdraw at any time. Tuition is non-refundable once paid, but any unused classes are carried as a credit on your account for future use. When you are ready to return, you can re-enroll without any additional fees. Class schedules change often, so call ahead to check availability at your preferred time.

Enroll Once and Keep Swimming

Perpetual enrollment keeps things simple: one sign-up, one predictable monthly bill, and a steady routine that helps your child build skills week after week at EVO Swim School in Gilbert and Mesa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does My Tuition Change When My Child Moves Up a Level?

Tuition follows your child's class level. Otter is $131 per month for one weekly lesson, while Seal through Dolphin is $114, so moving from Otter to Seal lowers the monthly rate. The front desk can confirm when the new rate takes effect.

Why Does My Bank Statement Say "Jackrabbit Technologies"?

EVO uses Jackrabbit for billing. ACH bank drafts appear on your statement as "JACKRABBIT TECHNOLOGIES," while credit card charges appear as "EVO Swim School." Receipts for electronic payments are emailed to the billing contact on file.

Which Payment Methods Does EVO Accept?

EVO accepts ACH bank drafts, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, plus cash or check by invoice. American Express and debit cards are not accepted. Credit card payments carry a 2.59% surcharge, while ACH, check, and cash payments have no processing fees.

Can We Pause Enrollment to Use Up Makeup Lessons?

No. Enrollment is required to schedule makeups. EVO does allow a one-week grace period after your last lesson to use any remaining makeups, so plan those before your final week.

Does Perpetual Enrollment Apply to the Queen Creek Summer Program?

No. The Queen Creek program is a seasonal, five-week intensive that meets three times per week. Families are charged only for the weeks they book ahead of time and can start and stop at any time. Families can transfer to a year-round location in Gilbert or Mesa when the season ends.
