Our aquatics program offers group swim lessons for children and adults of all ages and abilities. These lessons are designed for non-swimmers learning basic skills and water safety, beginning swimmers transitioning to using defined strokes, or advanced swimmers in need of stroke refinement.
Our Youth Swim Lessons (ages 6 months – 12 years) are specifically designed to introduce water safety, build familiarity in an aquatics environment, teach basic swimming skills, and introduce competitive swimming strokes. Our instructors will work with each child to set goals, achieve new milestones, build a positive swimming experience, and set up your child for a lifetime of aquatic fun!

Scheduling Lessons
Private lessons will be initially arranged by the Aquatics Professional Staff. Registrants will be contacted to confirm that their information has been received. Once the student is matched with an instructor, the instructor will contact the student to set up a time that is convenient for both parties. The instructor and student will set up additional lessons based upon their availability.
Registration Process
Completing and submitting this online interest form does NOT commit you any particular number of private swim lessons. Upon completing online request form interested individuals must purchase desired packages.
Parking is not included in the price of lessons. Please use the self-service kiosk located in the East Campus parking deck or the Park Mobile app to pay for parking using your vehicle’s license plate information.
If you are interested in a private swim lesson, please follow the link below to complete the form and a member of our aquatics staff will contact you.
Canceling Lessons
Students must notify their instructor at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule a private swim lesson. If the student fails to do this, that lesson will be forfeited. If a student no-shows, he/she will still be charged for that session. There will be NO REFUNDS and NO EXCEPTIONS. If a student cancels 3 times in a row, the lesson time may be given to another student. If Recreational Sports staff cancels or interrupts an appointment, the patron may reschedule for another time within one calendar year.
Tardy student
If a student is late for a private or group swim lesson, the length of the lesson is shortened by that amount of time. For instance, if a student(s) signs up for a 30-minute lesson and is 10 minutes late, the lesson will only last 20-minutes. There will be no discount for this remission.
Makeup Lessons (for Group Swim Lessons)
Makeup lessons will not be granted unless a scheduled lesson is cancelled by UGA Rec Sports. If a participant misses a regularly scheduled lesson, they forfeit that lesson.
