Swimming lessons might  be right for you!

Private Swim Lessons

Description:  Private lessons are an exceptional way to either learn to swim, or improve upon what you already know how to do.  This one-on-one swim session will be designed to fit all of your swim needs; any ability, and any age.  From the swimmer who is scared to enter the water, to the competitive athlete looking to become more efficient in the water; you will have a lesson that is catered to exactly what you want and need. 

Semi-private Swim Lessons

Description:  Semi-private lessons are a wonderful way to share the cost of individual instruction.  These lessons offer you the experience of practicing the skill for a minute or two while the instructor is working with the other individual(s).  It is up to the client to organize other participating individuals for the class.
