Private Lessons
Creating a Bond & Trust
Our first step is always getting to know our swimmers.
Reducing anxiety, fear and nervousness while creating a happy & healthy environment to build from.
Our instructors put in the time and effort to create a connection between themselves and their students which allows them to follow through with our program faster and more effectively.
Building Confidence
A swimmer that is proud in their achievements will want to achieve more! We strive to celebrate every achievement no matter how small. Every lesson is an opportunity to make our swimmers feel like they can accomplish the tasks ahead.
This goes beyond high fives and "great job".
Every swimmer gets a personalized goal card to track their progress and gives full visibility into what they will be working on during their lessons.
Developing Survival Skills
The survival skills are our first and main objective with every swimmer! Giving our students the ability to save themselves in negative situations that could arise in the water as well as giving them the tools they need to be a better all around swimmer.
Survival Skills are as follows but not limited to:

Improving Technique
There is always more that can be practiced and perfected!
