children

Private Swim Lesson Program
Private lessons give individuals an opportunity to work in a one-on-one setting
with an instructor that fits their needs. Participants get a chance to practice
their skills, work on technique and receive individual feedback and attention at
their pace. Semi private lessons are available to families, friends, groups, or
individuals who want more attention than a group setting, but still want the
benefits that a group environment can provide. Semi-private lessons can be for
groups of 2 to 4 participants and should be close in age and ability.
All lessons will be 30 minutes in length. All sessions include a total of 6
classes. Register for one or more of the time periods listed. We encourage you
to utilize the waitlist process whenever possible.
Price structure:
1 person - $20 per class or $120 per session ($20 per person)
2 people - $30 per class or $180 per session ($15 per person)
3 people - $40 per class or $240 per session ($13 per person)
4 people - $50 per class or $300 per session ($12.50 per person)
