Our Mobile Swim Lessons
Expertly tailored aquatic training programs designed for every age group, delivered directly to your home, community pool, or select locations though out the area.
Private Lessons
Private swim lessons are one on one swim lessons tailored to the individual needs of the student. (Children, Teen and Adult alike.) We base our lesson plans off of the American Red Cross Learn Swim progression skills chart and levels. The difference between this class and a group, is literally individual attention to gain the skills needed to learn to swim, or succeed and be confident in a group learn to swim environment.
Semi Private Lessons
Semi Private swim lessons are two on one swim lessons tailored to the needs of the smilier skilled students. (Children, Teens and Adults alike) We base our lesson plans off of the American Red Cross Learn Swim progression skills chart and levels. The difference between this class and a private, is sometimes you need a buddy to build your confidence to try new things. Together they will gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in a group learn to swim environment.
