Private Lessons

We will begin the 2024 season on April 1st. Our Spring lesson sign ups start on March 1st. We will add a few lessons mid-May, and continue scheduling summer lessons through August. We will start taking sign ups for summer lessons on April 1st.

From June through August, we will have lessons Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. In April, May, September and October we will have a more limited schedule.

All our lessons are one-on-one with the instructors. We think your child will spend less time on the wall or the steps and more time in the water that way. We try to honor your requests for instructors, but our instructors also do occasionally need time off and you may have a substitute. All our instructors are highly trained and experienced and we know your child will have a great experience no matter who they swim with.

Lessons vary in price depending on the instructor, age of student or special needs and range from $55-$75 each. We try to be flexible to accommodate your busy summer. Current credit card information and all payments by check are due on the first of the month.

If you need to cancel a lesson, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to fill it with someone else. Our cancellation policy is 48 hours notice. If you give us at least 48 hours notice, we will not charge you for that lesson. If you give us 24-48 hours notice we will charge you ½ price for the lesson. If you give us less than 24 hours notice you will be charged for the lesson. If your child is ill, or has a fever, cough, or any other symptoms, please stay home. We do not want you to bring any sick children to lessons.

For children between the ages of two and three, we may try private lessons, or we may opt for our Wee Swim Too class for children between the ages of 18 months and 2½ years. This is a group class designed for children who are not quite ready for private lessons and their parent. Each child is different and we try to individualize our lessons to get the best possible outcome for your child.

We do take children with special needs. Please be sure we are aware of any limitations your child may have. Our instructors can work more patiently and productively with your child when they know what the limitations are.

Once your child is swimming independently across the pool and has mastered all four competitive strokes they may be ready for swim team. If you are interested, we can recommend a couple of options.

To schedule lessons please contact Jen Harris at 805-680-5672. She will return your call as soon as possible. Our lessons usually fill and we often have a waiting list. Call early to get on the schedule.
