Women Only Private and Semi-Private Swimming Lessons
Private and semi-private lessons are an excellent alternative to group lessons. Participants will work one-on-one with a female instructor who will create an individualized lesson plan and goals.
About the Program:
Semi-private lessons are designed for 2-3 adults of approximately the same level of swimming ability.
Private Adult Lessons are not intended as a substitute for competitive swim coaching or triathlon-specific swim training. These lessons are taught by instructors trained in the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life® program and are designed for adults seeking individualized instruction to learn, refine, or master skills within the Adult Swim for Life framework.
Fall 2026 Program Registration Opens August 5th @ 9:00am
