Private Swim Lessons

Participants in private swim lessons receive one-on-one instruction from a trained instructor based upon his/her abilities, skills and needs. Lessons are offered for every age and swim level.

Each private lesson will be specifically designed for the participant, providing a number of skills and abilities through drills, games and lesson plans that are geared toward the individual's age group.
