Adult Group Lessons

Adult group lessons (swimmers age 15+) are designed for beginner level swimmers and will also cater to those who have some experience in the water and want to freshen up their skills. Swimmers start with learning the basic safety skills (breath control through the mouth and nose, front and back float, as well as the beginning arm and kicking movements for freestyle) and progress to independent freestyle and develop backstroke technique.

Private Lessons

Private swim lessons provide a 1 on 1 experience tailored to each participant. These lessons are great for apprehensive swimmers, swimmers looking to perfect a stroke, and swimmers hoping to polish their skills before joining the swim team. Although the instructor is only teaching one participant, lessons may happen in spaces utilized by other programming. Private Swim Lessons do not guarantee exclusive access to the pool.
