Why Private Lessons?

Private (1:1) and semi-private (1:2) lessons offer much greater engagement than conventual group lessons. Instructors are able to focus on the individual swimmer needs, provide immediate correction as well as build a greater relationship with the student. Private lessons have been shown to contribute to improved progression over shorter periods of time.
