Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons at Flagstaff Athletic Club

PRIVATE / SEMIPRIVATE LESSONS

FAC offers private swim lessons all throughout the year! Private lessons are 1 to 1 with a swim instructor, semiprivate is 2 to 1. Our swim instructors can work on any aspect of swimming you are interested in improving or can work with our swim skills checklist to get you or your child to a proficient level. Recommended to start private lessons between 2.5-3 years old, Baby & Me classes are a perfect option to get comfortable in the water before starting private lessons.

Private/semiprivate lessons are the most popular swim lesson option, and we are doing our best to accommodate all private/semiprivate lessons requests as quickly as possible. If you would like to request private/semiprivate swim lessons, please contact the Aquatics Manager to see swim instructor availability.

Once you have requested and been set up with a swim instructor, you will be in contact with that instructor for the remainder of your swim lesson package. You are welcome to continue with another package once you have been initially set up with the swim instructor.
