POP-UP Private Swim Lessons - An à la carte experience

• Designed so you can pick a specific teacher to make your child feel comfortable- either a boy or girl teacher. Or maybe you have a favorite teacher. (An amenity not possible with group swim lessons).

• Perfect for the young child who does not like a group environment for swim lessons

• 30-minute swim lesson with private one-on-one attention. Accomplish a lot without the distraction of other kids in a group.

• Tell your instructor what you want to work on - or if you’re not sure, we will come up with a plan together. Some people sign their kids up with one goal in mind such as: eliminating fear water, going off diving board for the first time, afraid of water, or swim team strokes/skills/endurance/breathing tips.

• Great compliment to Muskies or Otters!

Keep checking back if you don't find a time that works for you. We load more classes each week as we review our instructors' personal availability.
