ADULT SWIM LESSONS

It’s NEVER too late to learn how to swim or to perfect your swimming skills!  From beginner to advanced our trained instructors will tailor instruction to meet your needs. New swimmers will focus on basic skills development. Advanced swimmers will further development by working on stroke refinement and endurance.

We offer Group Swim Lessons and Private Swim Lessons!

Group Lessons

Stage 1: Water Acclimation (Beginner)

The adult level 1 lesson is designed for beginner swimmers who are looking to get comfortable in the water and learn more about water safety. The skills focused on are; back floating/front floating, balance and breathing control, gliding, kicking, and the front stroke. Safety in the water will be guided around treading water, special floats, and various other topics regarding safety around water that are typical of swim lessons.

Stage 2: Water Movement (Intermediate)

The adult level 2 lesson is designed for intermediate level swimmers who can already swim comfortably on their fronts but are looking for help on techniques; including breathing/stamina and stroke development. This class will be covering the front stroke and back stroke along with various safety topics.
