One-on-One Swim Lessons, Tailored to Your Child

Whether building confidence, tackling a fear, or refining a stroke, our 20- and 30-minute private lessons offer focused and personalized support from your favorite instructors, and are the perfect compliment to group instruction.

Why Private Swim Lessons?

At Emler Swim School, we believe in the benefit of group swimming lessons.

Children learn by observing their peers, and our small class ratios ensure individualized attention in every group class. However, some children benefit from private swim lessons, whether they need more time to get comfortable in the water, have specific learning needs, or want to fast-track progress while still enjoying group classes.

Every swimmer is unique. Private swim lessons adapt to the child’s comfort level, goals, and readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Private Lessons

Will my child learn to swim faster with private lessons?

What are the advantages of private lessons compared to group lessons?

Both formats have unique benefits:

Group Lessons: Children learn by observing peers, practice turn-taking, and gain social confidence. With our low student-to-teacher ratios, each child still receives plenty of individual attention.

Private Lessons: One-on-one lessons are fully customized to your child’s needs, learning style, and pace. They also maximize swim time since no time is spent waiting for turns.
