Our instructors are bubbly and make swimming fun! They travel with kick boards, noodles and water toys. They might even have music and underwater videos up their sleeves too - anything to ensure your child is excited to swim and has a great experience in the pool. The Swim Lessons With Mary team always brings the fun!
Efficient
Our private lessons provide 1-on-1 instruction, ensuring each swimmer receives 30 minutes of focused attention weekly. Lessons are tailored to the swimmer's skill and fear levels. Our team of instructors believe this is the fastest way for your child to learn how to swim and will find creative ways to address any fears or barriers present.
Convenient
We offer travel lessons, where SLWM will come to your home or neighborhood pool. We schedule lessons around your agenda, maintaining the same time each week for consistency. For indoor lessons, we provide a pool for year-round lessons—and for those without a pool, you can sign up for a time that best suits your schedule.
