Adult Lessons

We teach lessons to adults of all ages and abilities! From learn-to-swim lessons all the way to triathletes wanting to improve on their form or technique.

You can register as a private, semi-private, or triple-private with other adults under our regular classes, the class does not need to be labeled as an Adult lesson for you to register. Prices will reflect regular private lesson costs if scheduled during our regular swim lesson hours

We can ALSO arrange adult lessons outside of swim lesson hours in the evenings or on weekends. To do so, please email the Aquatics department with what days/times you may be looking for and what you'd like to achieve from your lessons and we will find an instructor available to work with you! These personalized lessons will come at a slightly higher cost.

Private Lessons

We do NOT provide partners for any private lessons. If you register for a Semi or Triple private lesson and all spots are not filled, we reserve the right to change the class and up the charge. Partners can be siblings, friends, cousins, etc. All spots MUST be filled.

ANY level can register for a private lesson. We will evaluate each child and determine which class level they are at. We work with them at their level and they will continue to progress at their level with the same progress reports any other child in a group class will receive. When they move up a level, they will continue on with their private lesson as normal, no need to change class spots.

Private, Semi-Private, and Triple-Private classes are interchangeable. If you see a class time available for a different lesson type, please email us so we can open it up in a different class format.
