Private Swim Lessons
Private swim lessons are great for beginner swimmers, novice swimmers, and elite swimmers. With one-on-one private lessons, you can work on the exact skills you want to improve through individual instruction. We also offer semi-private lessons for participants with siblings or friends.
Due to overwhelming demand, our private lessons are currently unavailable. Please check back later to submit a lesson request.
If you are interested in private and semi-private swim lessons, please fill out the Private Swim Lesson Interest Form.
