Private Swim Lessons

We are now offering private swim lessons for adults and children year-round.  You may purchase sessions in packages of 4 sessions at a time. We do not guarantee that we can set up private swim lessons for everyone, but we will try to accommodate as many people as possible.  Lessons are set up based on the pool’s availability and the instructor’s availability.  

 

You do not need to pay for your package until your lesson dates/times have been confirmed.  The cost per person decreases if you have multiple people that can sign up for a package at the same time.  The cost for each package is listed below:

Four-Session Packages Available                         

  • 1-Person: $100 for individual
  • 2-Person: $85 per person
  • 3-Person: $75 per person

If you are interested in setting up private lessons for you or your children, please contact Justin Lawler and let him know your availability to meet for private lessons.  You can contact Justin at Justin_Lawler@uml.edu or 978-934-2332.

You can also just fill out the Private Swim Registration Form [pdf] send it to
