You should ask the instructor, but I imagine they'll simply wear a watch and use it. Generally anyone who has billiable time has a vested interest in watching the clock.

Yup. I agree. They usually just wear a watch and let you know towards the end.. "Okay, we have time for one or two more."

Hey it’s a booked lesson - time is time and it’s up to the instructor to get you out of the water.

There may be regulations that stipulate the length of time you can be under instruction else the instructor should not charge you more than the agreed price for the lesson irrespective of how long you are in.

NOTE:
I asked a surf school once if I could hire a surfboard from them as when I got to the beach for a sun bathe the surf was banging in – they said no due to insurances and liability – fair enough and well said I reckon.
