Private swim lessons are back at Mills Pond Pool! All lessons will be taught by a trained swim instructor in a private or semi-private (2 participants) setting. Instructors will focus on the specific needs, abilities and goals of each swimmer by creating a customized plan.
Lessons are packaged in groups of 4 lessons per session. Each lesson is 30 mins. Private lessons are for children 3 years of age or older. Adults are also welcomed to register for private lessons. Our goal is help each participant develop their swim skills and learn about water safety.
Semi-Private Lessons are for two individuals at a similar swimming level. Participants must register together for the Semi-Private Lessons. Please note, if the swimming levels of both individuals are significantly different, the swim instructor will recommend two separate lessons before continuing. In these instances, the cost of the semi-private lesson could then be credited towards private lessons.
