Swim Lessons
Why wait for summer for swim lessons? Here are 5 reasons to do lessons in winter and spring:
- Availability and Class Sizes
Most families that participate in a water safety program wait until the summer months. - Preparedness
Summertime in the midwest is full of pool and lakeside activities. Why wait until the exposure to risks is prevalent? - Time to Pinpoint
If you or your child has a specific fear or aversion, you have more time to train the issue and get to a comfortable place. - Great Indoor Activity
Keeps yourself and your kids moving in the winter can be rough, so indoor swim lessons create the perfect outlet. - It's a Lot of Fun!
Why limit this enjoyable activity to only the summer months?
Private Lessons
Private Lessons with a Level 2 Instructor: Buy 5 and pay $40 per 30-minute lesson
Private Lessons with a Level 1 Instructor: Buy 5 and pay $35 for a 30-minute lesson
Semi-private Lessons: Buy 4 and pay $60 for a 30-minute lesson
