Private, Semi-Private & Individual Swim Lessons
Private lessons are available for swimmers ages 18-months and up who
want one-on-one learning with a certified swim lesson instructor. Lessons
will be tailored to each participant’s abilities and goals. Packages vary by
location and are typically offered as 1 lesson, 3 lessons or more.
Semi-Private lessons are available for participants ages three and above
and take place in groups of two to three people who want to take private
lessons together. These small group lessons are perfect for families, siblings
and/or friends. Each participant is required to purchase a package of lessons.
Individual lessons are conducted similarly to our Private Lessons but with a pre-
defined schedule. Swimmers interested in these lessons are looking for one-on-one
instruction and can attend pre-scheduled sessions with set dates and times.
After registering for private, semi-private or individual swim lessons online,
the Aquatics Director or a staff member will be in touch to discuss availability,
schedule preferences and connect the participant(s) with an instructor.
