Private Swim Lessons
Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons
Looking for one-on-one instruction or a more personalized learning experience? Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons provide individualized coaching tailored to each swimmer's goals and ability level. Lessons are scheduled based on participant, instructor, and pool availability.
Lesson Options
Private Lessons
One instructor working with one swimmer.
Semi-Private Lessons
One instructor working with 2–3 swimmers of similar ability. Participants must register together—we do not match swimmers for semi-private lessons.
