Private Swim Lessons

90 IMG 2933 1 1

UAB University Recreation makes water safety a priority in our community. UAB Private Swim School is designed to teach proper technique while providing an easy transition to lifelong swimming.

We will offer two varieties of private swim lessons. 1-on-1 will be private instruction and is designed to help swimmers become comfortable in a more private setting. Partner Swim (semi-private) is a more affordable option for 2-3 participants of the same skill level and age. We do not partner individuals together, you must bring your buddy with you when you sign up!

Participants new to the program will begin with an assessment of basic skills to determine their comfort and current swimming abilities to determine their customized lesson plan. Sessions are sold in packages of 4 and 8. These sessions are 30 minutes in length.
