Adult Group Lessons

We offer group lessons for all adults with all skill levels. Whether you are just learning or you are wanting to improve the skills you already have, our adult lessons can help. The program begins with the basics of swimming and water acclimation (i.e. breath control through mouth and nose while underwater, movement, etc...) and progresses through stroke introduction, development, and refinement, in addition to diving and other deep-water skills (i.e. treading, survival swimming). Participants also learn skills and concepts needed to stay safe around water, in addition to those needed to help themselves or others in an aquatic emergency. If you feel as if these lessons do not fit our needs, we offer private lessons for all ages to provide individual instruction to help meet those needs.
