Private Lessons

At this location we offer Private swimming Lessons for Children, Adults, Triathlon Swimming, Junior Lifeguard and High School.

Our inclusive program caters to young children, teenagers, and adults seeking to enhance their swimming abilities or overcome any hesitation in the water. We focus on instilling comfort, confidence, and conquering water-related fears.

Our primary objective is to ensure that participants achieve water safety. Throughout the program, you will acquire essential skills such as floating, kicking, pulling, proper breathing techniques, survival strokes, freestyle, and building endurance.

Our goal for younger children is to be Water Safe. Our goal for older children/adults is to attain water proficiency and be capable of swimming 25 yards (the length of a standard pool) unassisted, demonstrating a recognizable freestyle without interruption.

Price: $55.00 per 30-minute class (billed monthly). Lessons are a recurring monthly membership and are billed at the beginning of each month (the first month is prorated). The price is calculated and billed for the number of classes that month. For example, your class is on a Monday and there are 5 Mondays in the month. Price of class x number of classes in that month = amount billed for that month.

Annual Registration Fee: There is a $30 annual registration fee per student collected at initial registration and annually on the anniversary month.

What ages do you start? Ages 3 years and up.

What do I need to bring? Swim suit, goggles and swimming cap (if you have long hair). Equipment recommendations can be found here https://www.swimphi.com/shop.

Testimonials

  • “My kids have taken swim lessons with Swimphi for over 5 years. The website is easy to use and all the instructors they've had are wonderful. They've gone through the basics of all of the major strokes and are now focused on form and endurance.”

    Lisa C

  • "Peter, the owner, has been extremely hands on and determined to help me accomplish my goals in swimming. He listened to all my concerns and matched me with one of his instructors, Christina. She has been so patient, always positive, and calm. Peter always checks in and makes sure I'm progressing. I couldn't thank them enough in helping feel more comfortable in the water."

    Charlene B

  • "A friend of ours referred this company to us when we were looking for swimming lessons for our 6 years old son. He learned to swim on his own in only 6-8 lessons. We were so happy! The coaches are very professional and great with the kids. I even signed up private lessons for myself. Highly recommend!"
