Accommodating Needs
PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS
Private Swim Lessons are offered all year round. The one-on-one experience is perfect for children who have difficulty with a group environment or who may desire extra attention on their swim skills. Teachers are also able to better concentrate on the individual need of the child and cater the lessons to that specific need. All ages welcome.
| Cost Per Session | Y Member | Non-Member |
|---|---|---|
| Eight (8) 30-Minute Lessons | $224.00 | $296.00 |
*The lesson schedule is set up with the individual instructor. If the need to reschedule a lesson arises participants are required to give 24 hours’ notice. No call/no shows will be charged for the lesson missed. Sessions expire 8 weeks after purchase.
