Private Swim Lessons

Private lessons are for an individual who wants to learn how to swim or improve their swimming ability in a one on one setting. Lessons are structured based upon the participant's goals and objectives. The Water Safety Instructor will meet with each participant to administer a basic swim test to learn the participant's current swim ability. After speaking to the particpant and reviewing their swimming ability, a lesson plan will be developed and the instructor will work one on one with the individual to teach them how to swim or how to improve their ability.
