Private Swimming Lessons
Private swim lessons are a setting in which a participant works one-on-one with an instructor carrying out goals set forth by the participant and/or the participant’s family.
Various settings are available to meet the needs of our participants.
INSTRUCTORS
Kristi C
Age: 23
What I love about teaching: I love creating relationships with the kids I teach. Having a good relationship makes swim lessons more enjoyable and facilitates progress in the lessons. Additionally, I love watching kids become more confident in the water. Watching a student make progress is always exciting.
What I love teaching: I love to teach kids that are learning to swim for the first time and may not be completely comfortable in the water yet. I also love to teach stroke improvement to those who want to refine their skills more (especially on front stroke, backstroke, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke).

What I love about teaching: What I love about teaching is being able to get to know different children and be able to watch them learn, overcome, and concur new swimming skills.
