For ages 18 and older.

We offer two levels of group instruction for adults: Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced. Please note that classes offered nights/weekends will follow the childrens’ lessons schedule of 6-week sessions while ‘work-day’ options will be offered monthly, generally to include 4 consecutive lessons barring holiday gaps. Prices will vary based on the schedule available.

Beginner is for swimmers with little or no experience. This class will be shallow water only (standing depth) and is offered at the Swim Center, Athletic Club and Columbia Gym pools. Lessons are tailored to the participants of each class with an emphasis on safety skills, floating, and basic stroke techniques.

Intermediate/Advanced is for swimmers who can already swim 10-20 feet without stopping, who want to improve technique and gain confidence in deep water situations. Lessons are tailored to the participants of each class and we will meet you where you are to help you grow. In order to offer deep water instruction, this class is only offered at the Swim Center.

For more Advanced Stroke Development, please look at our Masters program or consider enrolling with one of our Personal Swim Training coaches.
