Private lessons allow for accelerated learning due to the one-on-one student-to-teacher ratio. At this time, private swim lessons are available for ages 3 and up. All lessons are 20 minutes and held on Tuesdays between the hours of 5:40pm-8:00pm. Private lessons indicate that you will have 1:1 access to our lesson’s instructor, not that you will have exclusive space in the pool. Lessons are held in both the large and small pool based on timeslots. Limited spaces are available.
