You asked and we listened. private swim lessons are here!
Private Lesson Information
The Aquatic Center is proud to offer private swim lessons to all ages. We teach those who have never swam, those who are looking to tune up their skills, and everything in between.
Our sessions are ONE TIME sessions that last 30 minutes. You are guaranteed one to one time with the instructor.
At this time, we are not offering private group sessions or series. Our program is brand new and we would like to get the flow of things before making it bigger.
About Our Instructors
To teach private lessons, we require our staff to be Water Safety Instructor (WSI™) certified. This is an extensive training offered by the Red Cross to be able to teach the swimming and water safety program as well as to teach the criteria found in advanced swimming skills. They are taught how to teach all skill levels, ages, and abilities. Per the Red Cross: “This certification is the gold standard and provides the most comprehensive training for swim instructors.”
Pricing
In District Private Lesson Fee: $27.00 per session
Out- of- District Private Lesson Fee: $33.00 per session
Scholarships and Active Rx are not available for private swim lessons.
Scheduling
Because we have to work with individual instructor availability, we may not be able to schedule far in advance.
We will try to accommodate instructor requests as best we can.
Scheduling will be offered sporadically throughout the week. There will be slots available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
At this time, we are not offering series or group lessons. Stay tuned.
To register, please go to rschooltoday or call the front desk at 541-386-1303.
We have moved away from the form submission registration option.
If you do not see private lessons to register for, that means they are full.
We do our best to offer as many spots as we can.
We do NOT have waitlists for private lessons.
If you need Assistant Supervisor/Swim Lesson Coordinator support, please email kenna@hoodriverparksandrec.org.
