SEMI-PRIVATE AND PRIVATE SWIMMING LESSONS

While our core group swim classes are small, our private and semi-private swimming classes in Waukesha provide a more personalized experience. Private lessons are 30 minutes long and pair one swimmer with one instructor. Semi-private lessons also last 30 minutes, but two swimmers can join the same lesson, which makes these lessons a wonderful fit for siblings or friends who want to swim together.

Private swim lessons help adults and kids alike increase their skills and comfort in the water. They’re ideal for students who learn better with individual attention, including anxious first-time swimmers, kids with special needs, adults who have put off learning to swim, and competitive swimmers who would benefit from targeted training on specific skill sets. Private lessons are also a great fit for former runners and other athletes who want to learn about lower-impact exercise options.

When you or your child learn how to swim with Swimtastic Waukesha, you receive all the benefits of swimming in a safe, supportive and warm environment. And we mean warm both literally and figuratively — our pools are heated to a comfortable temperature and our instructors have a passion for helping swimmers excel. Our experienced teaching team includes competitive swimmers and people who have spent most of their lives in and around the water.

Are private swim classes the best fit for my child?

Many parents wonder whether private swim lessons or group swim classes will be best for their child. While every young swimmer is different, certain kids do tend to benefit from one-one-on instruction. If you’re wondering which type of class would be the best fit for your kiddos needs and goals, we encourage you to contact our team via phone or email.

Our Water Safety Curriculum

When it comes to choosing a swim school, we know you have plenty of options. We also know exactly what swimmers and their families need to have the best experience possible. Waukesha's warm water pools increase comfort and make it easier to focus, but it’s our proven curriculum that leads to lasting skill development:

  • A progressive curriculum focused on water safety, skill development, and proper swimming technique for the four fundamental swim strokes.
  • Experienced, passionate, Swimtastic Certified™ instructors who have completed extensive classroom and in-water training programs, along with a series of instructor-shadowing sessions.
  • Our commitment to match the instructor’s teaching style to the needs of each swimmer through our Swimtastic Match™ program.
  • Regular updates on your swimmer’s progress through our skill tracking, progress reports, and Splash-N-Tell™ program. With Splash-N-Tell™, parents are invited to the last 8 minutes of class to talk with the instructor and let their child show off their new skills.

While every class is different, the lesson plans that guide our swim lessons were developed by a team of world-class swimmers with over 30 years of teaching experience. Every swimmer who joins us will learn to swim at their own pace in a learning environment that emphasizes empowerment and skill retention.
