Swim Lessons

School-Age Swim Lessons

Sign up HERE

The SwimAmerica School-Age Swim Lesson Program is one of the most progressive group lesson experiences your child will encounter. Because the swimmer proceeds through the ten stations at their own pace, each child feels that their needs are being uniquely addressed. The personal attention helps the most reluctant swimmer feel comfortable. The classes are goal-driven and technique-oriented, with emphasis on good swimming form — our ten teaching stations will take your child from bubbles to butterfly.

School-Age Lessons for children ages 5 and up:

 

Fall Session: September 10th and 12th through October 22nd and 24th

 

Every new student will start with an assessment to place them in the correct station.

Your child must be ready 5 minutes before the lesson starts. Late arrivals are strongly discouraged and may not be allowed in the class.

Swim lessons are an essential safety skill for the community, and we are dedicated to providing this service in the safest and most comfortable way for our students and instructors.

Swim Lessons: 6 months – 2 years

Incredible Infants:7 to 35 months

With a parent’s assistance, the class helps infants develop a love of the aquatic environment and trains them to respond appropriately if falling in the water by accident. Goal-orientated songs and games teach your baby essential safety skills in a nurturing environment.

Private Lessons 

In addition to our group swim lessons, we also offer private and semi-private lessons. 

Private lessons offer you personalized, one-on-one, training from one of our instructors — giving you a unique learning experience tailored to your needs. Private Lessons can be purchased individually or in a four-pack. One private lesson is $75 and a four-pack is $280.

Semi-private lessons pair two swimmers with one instructor. These are perfect for siblings or friends who are at a similar level of swimming experience and would like to be in the water learning together. Semi-private lessons are offered as a four-pack for $360.

All private and semi-private lessons are 30 minutes long.

 

It can take several weeks to be paired with an instructor, so make sure to inquire about lessons two or more weeks in advance of when you are looking to begin lessons. 

If you are interested in registering for private lessons, please email jvitell@simons-rock.edu with your name, contact information, and any relevant information about the swimmer who will be taking lessons here.
