Concord Campus Only

PRIVATE LESSON

Age Maximum: 17 years


Lesson Length: 30 minutes


Class Size: 1 swimmer + 1 instructor

One-on-one lessons offer personalized instruction tailored to your swimmer's unique needs, goals, and pace. This focused attention helps swimmers progress quickly, build strong foundational skills, and gain confidence in a distraction-free environment. Private lessons use the same teaching techniques and level systems as group lessons. That way, each swimmer can steadily achieve tangible goals and progress through a layered system of learning with their instructor.



Infants (6 months to 2.5 years): A parent or guardian must participate in the water to support the child's safety and comfort.

Young Children (2.6 to 12 years): Children in this age group may attend private lessons without a parent in the water.

Teens (13 to 17 years): Please note that teen lessons take place during regular children's sessions, which may make some older students feel self-conscious. Parents are encouraged to consider this when scheduling.
