Young Adult Lessons (13–17-years)

Young Adult Swim Lessons: Teaching Lifesaving Water Safety Skills

If you are a young adult ages 13-17 years old, we are delighted that you are interested in swim lessons!  It’s never too late!

Many young adults want to learn to swim or want to improve their skills but don’t want to join a competitive swim team and are reluctant to join a swim class because they don’t want to be placed in a class with “little kids.”  We are happy to offer small Young Adult group classes specific to you and others your age so that you are learning with your peers.  In these classes, you can progress individually and at a faster pace than younger swimmers.

This program takes our traditional British Swim School methods and applies them in a way that’s specifically designed to work with young adult swimmers to help them feel comfortable and safe in the water.
