Would you or your child benefit from one-on-one individualized support in the water? Look no further! Individual lessons can increase skills and build confidence in the water. A private lesson is a one-on-one lesson with one of our certified instructors. A Semi-Private lesson is 2 or 3 people who are at similar swim levels working with one instructor. All ages and levels welcome. All sections default to a Private Swim Lesson. If you have 2 or 3 people at a similar level, call 763-504-6990, to have the Semi-Private lesson set up for your group. The fee for a Semi-Private lesson is $80/person or $60/person with Educational Benefits. Please call with questions or to register.
