Private Swim Lessons
Private lessons will be offered by our Lifeguards and Swim Team Coaches. The program will provide focused one-on-one instruction and parent choice of instructor. A list of instructors and telephone numbers is in a binder at the front desk to help parents identify and select the instructor of their choice. Parents will make arrangements and payments directly with the instructor. Costs are expected to range from $20 to $35 per 30-minute private lesson –depending on the credentials/experience of the instructor.
To make the most of your private lesson it is best to avoid crowded conditions and distractions which is typically 3:30-6:30 daily. All evenings 6:30-8:00 are typically very quiet, as are weekend mornings when there is not a home swim meet.
As always, lessons conducted for a fee may only be conducted by someone from our Lifeguard and Coaching staff. Any other lessons for a fee are prohibited at our pool.
