Overview:

Are you an adult who has never learned how to swim, or to swim well? Are you anxious around water? Have you watched your child learn to swim with us and want to be able to join them more comfortably in the water? Or are you an intermediate swimmer who would like to do more? Perhaps you’re looking to improve your technique to participate in a triathalon.

Whatever the reason, all levels of swimmer are welcome to learn more with SwimGuru! Our adult program starts with 3 hours of instruction at your level, with your goals as the priority.

For brand new swimmers, we will work with you to overcome any discomfort you may have around or in water in a safe and supportive environment. You will learn a basic face-down swim, a back float to rest and breathe, and then how to transition between them to build the basic life-saving skills you need to have in the water.

If you know how to swim and want to improve, we will prioritize your goals throughout your lessons. Just let us know what you would like to work on and we will go from there! We teach the four competitive strokes: front crawl (freestyle), backstroke, breast stroke, and butterfly. Additionally, we can teach flip turns, diving (certain pools only), treading water, and other real-world problem-solving skills.

Regardless of current ability, if this is your first time swimming with SwimGuru, you will purchase a New Adult Starter Package. If you want to continue swimming with us after you complete this package, you will purchase a Continuing Adult Package.
