Our aquatics program offers private 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. The instructor will be in the water as necessary to demonstrate each stroke and assist the swimmer.
Private Lessons: One student per instructor.
Lesson duration: Private lessons are 30 minutes in length

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.
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.
Group swim lessons are not currently being offered due to health and safety guidelines. We anticipate offering group lessons again starting in August 2021.
Canceling Lessons
Students must notify their instructor at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule a 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 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.
