SWIM LESSONS OVERVIEW

  • LESSON OPTIONS

    Exceptional Swim Instruction — Designed for Confidence and Mastery


    At AquaTech Swim, swim lessons are more than classes — they are a carefully crafted educational experience that builds lifelong confidence, water safety, and technical skill. Our program is structured, intentional, and guided by instructors who bring expertise, calm assurance, and care to every lesson. 


    How We Teach: We offer three thoughtfully designed lesson pathways to meet your child’s needs, whatever their current level. We offer: 


      1. Children's Small Group Lessons    

    An inspired environment where swimmers of similar skills learn together. These structured group settings foster camaraderie, confidence, and steady progression under the guidance of highly trained instructors.


      2. Children's Private Lessons    

    One-on-one instruction tailored precisely to your child’s abilities and goals. This focused setting accelerates progress and offers a deeply individualized learning journey. Concord Campus only. 


      3. Children's Practice Swim Team    

    For swimmers ready to embrace challenge and refinement. This option emphasizes technique, endurance, and the joy of purposeful progression within a supportive team environment.


    All lessons are built upon our proprietary methodology, ensuring that skill development is logical, progressive, and measurable.

  • ENROLLMENT STEPS

    We enroll swimmers on an ongoing basis and tailor placement to current ability, not age alone. Before your first lesson, we determine the ideal starting level so your child begins with confidence and purpose.   


    Enrollment At A Glance:        


    1. Determine Your Child’s Starting Level: 

    We begin by identifying the appropriate lesson level based on your child’s current skills. This is typically done through a short series of questions using our SWIM LEVEL QUIZ. Instructors may recommend adjustments after lessons begin to ensure the best fit.


    2. Confirm Lesson Availability:

    Our schedule is ongoing, and enrollment is available year-round. To provide the most accurate availability, we ask families to check in approximately one week before their desired start date.


    3. Manage Everything in the Customer Portal:

    All scheduling and account details are managed through our Customer Portal, where you can enroll in classes, view schedules, and report absences. If you need additional assistance, the REQUEST A LESSON FORM is available under the Customer menu.


    4. Choose the Enrollment Option That Fits Your Family:

    For steady progress, we recommend one lesson per week on an ongoing basis. Your day and time are reserved until your child graduates to the next level. For families needing more flexibility, drop-in lessons are available without a long-term commitment.


    5. Track Progress and Celebrate Milestones:

    Instructors closely monitor progress toward three graduation goals at each level. Families receive emailed certificates as goals are achieved. Once all goals are met, we guide you through placement into the next level.


    6. Makeup Lesson Flexibility:

    If an absence occurs, parents can report it through the Customer Portal. Makeup tokens may be used for future swim lessons or within our AquaRec program.


    Why We Schedule One Week in Advance: Because our schedule evolves daily due to graduations and adjustments, confirming availability one week ahead allows us to offer the most accurate options while maintaining flexibility for families.

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.

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.
