Overview

Looking for private swim lessons in Washington, DC? Our private and semi-private lessons are tailored to each swimmer’s needs, whether they’re just starting out or working toward a specific skill. Learn one-on-one with a trained instructor or join a friend or family member of a similar skill level to learn together. Lessons are available by appointment for children ages 3 and up and for adults.

Private lessons offer fully individualized attention and pacing, ideal for beginners, swimmers working through fear of the water, or anyone targeting a specific skill quickly. Semi-private lessons pair two swimmers of similar ability, offer more personalized coaching than a group class at a lower cost than private instruction, and are a good fit for siblings or friends learning together.

How to Book a Lesson:

New students start by filling out a swim lesson request form so we can match them with the right instructor and skill level. Once approved, lessons can be purchased directly through your EDCJCC account.
