* Private and Semi-Private Lessons | The River Valley Club

All swim levels

Private Swim Lessons are available with any of our four American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certified Coaches.

Private

Each 30 minute session is scheduled at your convenience. Private lessons are structured to meet the individual’s needs and goals. The time spent one-on-one with a child typically allows them to progress more quickly than a group setting.

Semi-private

An alternative to group or private lessons, semi-private lessons consist of 2 clients and are also 30 minute sessions scheduled at your convenience. Semi-private lessons are perfect for families with more than one child learning to swim, or close friends looking for a more intimate learning environment.

Pricing and Registration

Our fees vary based on instructor level. Contact the instructor you’re interested in to learn more and to register.

Whether you’re just starting out, trying to get back into a routine, or are feeling frustrated with your current regimen: Your fitness journey is your own. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else.

‘Can’t’ is no longer in my vocabulary, and I have a sense of pride in my ability to work toward a goal and not only achieve it, but often exceed it.
