NEW! Private and Semi-Private Swim Prices:
Private/Semi-private Lesson: All private swim lessons are 30
minutes long. The class is structured around what the client
would like; if the participant is new to swim we will start with
the basics, or if the participant is advanced then we will work
on perfecting strokes. Some benefits of private swim lessons
are small class size, participant advances faster and being able
to schedule the lesson around your personal schedule.
Private (1 child to 1 instructor) ....................................$20/hour
Semi-Private (2-3 children to 1instructor) ......$15/hour per child
