Adult Students are Some of our Most Motivated Learners

It's never too late to learn to swim or refine  your strokes. In fact, if you learned to swim as a child, you may be surprised to discover that stroke mechanics have changed significantly over the last forty years. We know a lot more about swimming efficiency through the advanced study of hydrodynamics and physiology, new technology such as underwater cameras, and studying some amazing Olympic swimmers. Regardless of age, swim students pass through the same four phases of learning to swim. If you never learned to swim, want to update your mechanics, or simply keep up with your kids, we can help.

Here are some of the many reasons adults take lessons with us:

• Want to be better swimmers to help their children be safer in, on and around water
• Need fast progress for a trip or summer activities
• Know how to swim, but want to refine strokes to get a more vigorous workout
• Never learned to swim when they were young
• Need a custom day or time
• Prefer the privacy of one-on-one lessons and don't want to be in group classes
• Have a fear of water, and want to make a change
• Runners who want to add a low impact workout to their regime
• Doctor has suggested swimming for a low impact workout 
• Have taken group classes, but progress stalled
• Triathlon racers looking to improve their swim time

Private Lessons are Highly Effective

• Customized lesson plans​​
• Maximum constructive feedback
• Maximum practice time per lesson
• Opportunity for multiple lessons per week
• ​Focused atmosphere​​

Private Lessons  Allow us to Execute the 3 Key Principles that Accelerate Progress

CUSTOM LESSONS

Although our instructors follow our curriculum, we've built in some wiggle room so teachers can leverage each student's strengths. It's part of our SaferSooner philosophy that lets teachers create a smooth learning path for each student.  This strategy boosts confidence, helping each student move forward.

MAXIMIZE PRACTICE TIME

Everyone knows the more you practice, the better you get. It's a life lesson that can be taught during the learn-to-swim process. Our teachers give students lots of practice time. Small class sizes help, but teachers are also trained in class organization strategies that maximize practice time.

GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

Our teachers give individual, constructive feedback so that students have specific areas to improve each time they swim. Our teachers show more than tell. They correct body position and gross motor skills first, ensuring that students have the foundation to make refinements later.
