Private Swim Lessons

Private lessons are tailored to meet each swimmer’s individual needs, offering one-on-one instruction that helps build skills and confidence in the water.

During these private swim lessons, the instructor works with each swimmer at their current ability level, using the swim lesson curriculum to help build confidence, improve skills, and advance their swimming abilities.

To help your child’s instructor prepare lessons that are tailored to their needs, the following will be asked upon registration.

• Does your child have any fears or concerns about being in the water?
• Are there specific skills you would like your child to work on?
• Does your child have any special needs or information that would be helpful for the instructor to know?

Water safety is a priority!
Beyond the standard skills required by the Red Cross, our water safety instructors teach additional skills to enhance children's safety and preparedness in and around water. If a child were to fall into a body of water it is imperative that they learn how to stay calm, get on their back, orientate themself (find the shore/edge of pool/boat), and get out. You will observe this skill being reinforced daily in swim levels A, B, C and 1.

For safety, swimmers MUST be comfortable with the following before advancing to the next swim level:

Level A
• Lay comfortably on their back and relax
• Completely place face in the water & blow bubbles

Level B
• Completely submerge head while doing a bob

Level C
• Jump off the edge and keep their head above water

Level 1
• Jump off the diving board
• Independent Back float (5 seconds)
