Swim to Thrive - Private Class

Looks like your swimmer would do well in our Swim to Thrive program! Private lessons allow your swimmer to progress at their own pace, work through items they are stuck on, take advantage of more 1:1 instruction time or work on additional items outside of the curriculum such as synchronized swimming skills, lifesaving skills, etc.

When registering for a private class, please consider which instructor will be the best fit for your child. Senior Instructors are best for swimmers who may have had a delayed start to swimming lessons, require more technical assistance, have existing fears or unique learning needs who require a thoughtful, individualized approach. Master Instructors may be best for swimmers overcoming trauma, developmental challenges, or for those needing a highly customized and therapeutic approach.

Age: 3y+
Parent participation: No, not required
