Preschool Swim (ages 3 - 5)

Children enrolled in Preschool Swim lessons will build confidence in the water as they become more comfortable being in the pool without a parent. 

Beginner swimmers focus on: developing comfort going underwater, self-rescue skills, body position/control, changing directions and forward movement.

Intermediate school-age swimmers focus: on performing the skills listed above at longer distances, learning side breathing and integrated arm/leg action.

Advanced swimmers will learn and practice stroke techniques for front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly at progressively longer distances. Swimmers will also build their endurance and treading water.

Cost per Session: $70/members; $120/non-members

On the first day of lessons, participants will meet on the pool deck, check in with the on-deck supervisor and meet their swim instructor. Lessons vary from 30 to 45 minutes based on session length (number of weeks). Parents will receive an end-of-session report card on the last day of lessons. Class Ratio: 1:5.

Private, Semi Private & Individual Swim Lessons

Private lessons are available for swimmers ages 18-months and up who want one-on-one learning with a certified swim lesson instructor and flexible scheduling. Lessons will be tailored to each participant's abilities and goals. Packages vary by location and are typically offered as 1 lesson, 3 lessons or more.

Semi-Private lessons are available for participants ages three and above and take place in groups of two to three people who want to take private lessons together. These small group lessons are perfect for families, siblings and/or friends. Each participant is required to purchase a package of lessons.

Individual lessons are conducted similarly to our Private Lessons but with a pre-defined schedule. Swimmers interested in these lessons are looking for one-on-one instruction and can attend pre-scheduled sessions with set dates and times varying by location.
