PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS Private lessons are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority is given to participants requiring one-on-one instruction due to a disability or safety concern.

Note: semi-private lessons can only be booked for two swimmers within one level of each other. For example a Swim Kids 3 student and a Swim Kids 6 student could not book a semi-private lesson together, but a Swim Kids 3 student and a Swim Kids 4 student would be permitted.

This July we’re trying out survival swimming lessons at McArthur Place waterfront! These lessons aren’t meant to replace traditional swimming lessons at the pool, instead they’re meant to offer a low-cost option to teach people of all ages and abilities the skills that they need to know to survive an unexpected fall into water.

In the case of poor weather, algae, or cold water, lessons will be cancelled. You will be called the day before or morning of the lesson.

We will reimburse the cost of the lesson if 2 or more of your classes are cancelled.
