All swim lessons are done on a private basis and are schedule by appointment only.
Private Lessons (one-on-one) - $40/half hour - Depending on the ability level of the swimmer and the focus of the lesson, I may opt to use an audio system that allows the swimmer to hear instructions while they swim and make stroke corrections with immediate feedback. Not available for semi-private lessons.
Semi-Private (2 students) - $25ea./half hour - Both swimmers need to be similar in ability (often siblings within 2 years of age difference, or adult friends). You provide both swimmers. Rarely, do I have 2 swimmers of similar abilities and schedules to match together.
Video Diagnostic Lessons - $60 each - These lessons are done in 2 parts on 2 different days. Part 1 includes the video recording of swims, starts, and turns, both above and below the surface of the water (takes about 15 minutes). After the recordings are done they are analyzed and a digital copy is made and given to the student (or coach if part of a team session). In part 2 (we meet again for 30 minutes) some of the time is spent talking about the video and the analysis then the swimmer gets in the water to work on technique corrections with instruction. Please see the example (below) of a raw underwater video.
Beginners
- Beginner swimmers are taught basic swimming skills and safety techniques on the front and back. Lessons are available to all ages.
Intermediates
- Intermediate swimmers are taught freestyle, elementary backstroke, standard backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and diving with a continuing emphasis on swimmer safety and proper stroke techniques.
Advanced
- Advanced swimmers work on improvement and refinement of stroke techniques and will be introduced to the skills necessary to move on to long term water survival and lifesaving.
Triathletes and Elite Swimmers
- Triathletes and Elite Swimmers have very specific goals and as such the training is very specific. When you contact SwimVantage be prepared to discuss your goals and timeframe. From this information a plan will be designed specifically to meet your needs.
