Private Swim Lessons

Are you looking for lessons that you coordinate and fits exactly into your schedule? Then private lessons are a possible option. These lessons are arranged between yourself and an instructor based on your schedule and availability. They are offered to all students, faculty, staff and SFC members, and are a great option for those looking for individualized instruction. We will match you with an instructor that can help you achieve your goals, as well as fit into your schedule. Each session is 30 minutes, and the pricing is listed below. To start your journey towards private instruction, stop by the SFC Front Desk and ask for a Swim Instructor Request form.
