Private Swimming Lessons vs. Group Swimming Class

Private swimming lessons typically produce quick progress in students due to a combination of customized instruction and maximum practice time. Compared to a typical group swimming class, students build confidence faster and gain water independence sooner. All of this gives peace of mind, and more time to enjoy skills, especially since New Jersey has limited warm weather. With our flexible scheduling and many available times, students can take multiple lessons per week. Although private lessons cost more up front, they're often a better value as they save money long term. Most importantly, students are simply safer sooner.

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

CUSTOMIZE 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.
