Private Swim Lessons
Private lessons are a great option for individuals who are seeking an individualized approach to either learning to swim or enhancing their swimming skills and endurance. Private lessons offer one-on-one instruction specifically tailored to the individual. Alternatively, Buddy Private Lessons (2 swimmers) are swim lessons that provide the private lessons experience with a friend or sibling.
