Private or Semi Private Swim Lessons
Private and Semi Private Lessons

Private or Semi-Private Lessons *Please note, Fee Assistance cannot be used for Private or Semi-Private Swim Lessons. This class is designed to aid those who need extra help passing a level or working on a specific skill. More individualized attention will be given to specific areas of need. Additional times beyond those listed below will be determined by pool and instructor availability. All lessons are private lessons unless two registrations are submitted together and indicate a semi-private preference. It is recommended the students in the semi-private lessons are of a similar skill level. If you are registering for a semi-private lesson, please register 1 student then you will be asked for the 2nd student's name during registration, so you do not need to register each student separately for a semi-private lesson. Students who wish to have a private 1:1 lesson should register separately. Ratios: Private = 1:1, Semi-Private = 1:2.
