Jay Xavier Banks

Swimming is more than a skill — it's a foundation for safety, confidence, and lifelong fitness. Jay brings 7 years of competitive swimming, 4 years as a certified swim instructor, and 4 summers guarding the surf with the Ocean City, Maryland Beach Patrol to every single lesson.

From helping young children feel safe in the water to pushing adults and athletes toward advanced endurance, every session is private, personal, and built around one swimmer: yours.

How lessons work

The details worth knowing before you book.

Billing

Weekly lessons are billed in advance, 4 lessons at a time — every 4 weeks, not by the calendar month. That is what reserves your time, and it stays yours week after week until you cancel.

Cancellations & make-ups

Let Coach Jay know at least 24 hours ahead and he will offer a make-up at another open time when he can. A lesson missed without notice counts as used. Need a different weekly time? Ask him from Manage my lessons.

Siblings

Each child books their own lesson time at the regular price. Pick times side by side and the whole family is in and out in one visit.

Changing your time

Missing a lesson, or need a different time? Tell Coach Jay from Manage my lessons (bottom of every page) and he will sort it — or just call.

Questions, answered

I have more than one swimmer — how does that work?

Each child has their own lesson time at the regular price — one swimmer, one coach. Book one, then come back and book the next; pick times side by side to make it one trip to the pool.

Where are lessons held?

In the heated indoor pool at Four Points by Sheraton Allentown Lehigh Valley — 3712 Hamilton Blvd, Allentown, PA 18103, across from Dorney Park. Free parking on site.

How does billing work?

Weekly plans bill in advance for 4 lessons at a time — every 4 weeks, not by the calendar month. That is what holds your weekly time, and it stays yours until you cancel. Not sure yet? Book one trial lesson first, with no plan.

What if we miss a lesson?

Let Coach Jay know at least 24 hours ahead (tap "Can't make it" on Manage my lessons) and he will offer a make-up at another open time when he can. A lesson missed without notice counts as used.

What happens in an under-5 evaluation?

A free, relaxed 15-minute session where Coach Jay gauges comfort, submersion, and kicking — then he converts the evaluation into the weekly slot and level that fit your child.

Ready when you are.

Registration takes about three minutes — parent info, swimmer info, pick a time, pay and sign online. Or reach out first; Jay answers within a business day.
