Find the Right Swim Lessons
Choose patient instruction that fits your swimmer’s confidence, goals, and learning style.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Personal attention. A plan built for your swimmer.
One-on-one instruction begins with your swimmer’s comfort level, skills, and goals. Patient coaching helps beginners build breath control, floating, rolling, kicking, and wall-reaching skills. As swimmers become ready, we introduce and refine freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. No prior experience is needed; progress varies by swimmer.
Choose 20- or 30-minute lessons, with other lengths available by program. Check the booking calendar for availability.
Semi-Private Lessons
Two or three swimmers share one instructor. Siblings or friends with compatible skills and goals can learn together with focused attention. Call for help choosing the right pairing. One designated payer handles booking.
Adaptive Swim Lessons
Patient, respectful instruction with communication, activities, and pacing adapted to individual needs. Tell us about support and accessibility needs before booking so we can discuss the right format and any additional assistance.
At-Home Lessons
Build water comfort, foundational skills, and stroke technique in your own pool. Call to discuss service area, pool requirements, pricing, and availability.
Private programs also include infant water comfort, gentle survival-skill practice, toddler instruction, family share options, and adult lessons. Call or text 216-645-9431 to find your fit.
GROUP LESSONS
Small steps today. Skills for a lifetime.
Learning alongside other swimmers can turn nervous first visits into moments of pride. Our instructors guide students through water comfort, breath control, floating, kicking, and swimming skills, with encouragement and water-safety practice at every stage. Beginners are welcome; placement considers age, ability, and readiness.
Four weekly, 30-minute group lessons: $96 per swimmer. That is $24 per lesson, with no registration fee. Specialty class lengths and prices may differ. Check the booking calendar for current times and locations.
Parent & Child: Learn Together
Parents and caregivers join their little ones in the water. Your instructor demonstrates supportive holds, assisted floats, gentle water introductions, and playful breath-control activities so you can practice together. We use predictable cues such as “Name, ready, go!” to help children know what comes next.
