Private Swim Instruction

Our private swim lessons (age 3.5+) are designed to teach swimming in a safe, positive, and fun atmosphere. We encourage participants to develop a healthy confidence, self-esteem, and sense of responsibility in, on and around the water by following the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculums.

Private Swim Lesson availability may be found on our Member Portal. Instructors with availability are labeled with Open Enrollment – [NAME]. Registration is available 21 days from the lesson start time and must be booked at least 24-hours in advance. Swim lesson programs labeled with DO NOT REGISTER are not available and any unauthorized bookings will be canceled and no refund will be issued.

• To qualify for the member rate, the participant must be a Wellness Center member
• Limit to one 30-minute lesson per participant per day
• Buddy lessons are not an option
• The 3.5-year-old age restriction coincides with the curriculum for American Red Cross Learn to Swim classes. Children under 3.5 should be enrolled in our Aquatots program as we are not offering private parent and child classes at this time.
• Those interested in private lesson should review the Open Enrollment Private Lesson section of our Membership Handbook.

Any questions about our private swim lesson programs can be directed to the Aquatics Coordinator, Andria Moyer, at amoyer@shepherd.edu.
