Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons:

Private lessons are a great option for swimmers looking to catch up or get ahead. These lessons give you individualized attention to help improve or master swimming skills. You set the agenda by working with the instructor to determine goals. The curriculum is customized to meet these goals.

Adult/Teen Swim Lessons 

Lessons will cover the Swim Basics:

  • In Water Acclimation (Level 1), students are introduced to the pool and develop safe water habits in a fun and encouraging environment. Students become comfortable with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit a body of water in the event they fall in.
  • In Water Movement (Level 2), students focus on body position and control, forward movement, directional change, and basic self-rescue skills. This stage also reinforces how to safely exit a body of water in the event of falling in.
  • In Water Stamina (Level 3), students focus on body position and control, forward movement, directional change, and basic self-rescue skills. This stage also reinforces how to safely exit a body of water in the event of falling in.
