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.
PLEASE NOTE: We currently have a 2-3 week waitlist due to our high demand of requested private swim lessons.
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.

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!
We will have the following groups for registration: Parent Child (6 months-2 years old), Preschool (3-5 years old), and Youth Lessons (6+ years old). When registering for our lessons, you simply need to choose the session date and time that works best with you or your child’s schedule, and choose the session matching their appropriate age range. Our instructors will perform a skills test on the first day of lessons with each child to place them in the appropriate level.

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.
Additional Policies
- Lessons are scheduled around pool availability during recreational swimming hours
- Lesson fees are non-refundable and non-transferable from member to member.
- All lessons must be used and redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Any lessons that were not used during the 12 month period will expire and the student must purchase a new training package if they wish to continue training.
- Regular scheduled lessons will occur on Monday-Friday, with makeup lessons being held on Saturdays at the end of each week.
- If more than 2 lessons are missed, a refund will not be given unless there are extenuating circumstances that meet the approval of the Assistant Director of Aquatics.
