What types of swimming lessons do you offer?

At Danswim, we take pride in offering swimming lessons that cater to the needs of each and every student, regardless of age or level of ability. Our experienced coaches employ proven teaching methods to bring out the best in each student and help them progress at their own pace. Whether you are a beginner trying to learn the basics or an advanced swimmer refining your techniques, we have a program designed for you.

What's the structure of your lessons?

Our private swimming lessons are designed to offer a more comprehensive and unique swimming experience. Every lesson includes a warm-up, specific skill development exercises/drills, and a cool-down at the end. Our instructors tailor each lesson explicitly to the student's needs, allowing them to achieve their goals in the pool while finding a balance between technique, safety, and building confidence in the water.

How long are the lessons?

Lessons typically last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. We find this time to be optimal for retaining students' attention, energy, and concentration while still making each session productive and enjoyable. The actual time for every lesson will be determined based on factors such as the age and skill level of the student and specific lesson goals.

How do I book a lesson?

You can book a lesson quickly and easily in several ways: online via our Sign Up page or by emailing us at danswimcoach@gmail.com. Our customer support team can always help with swimming-related questions or requests.

Do you offer group lessons?

Yes, we do. Group lessons cater to all ages and all levels of ability and are carried out in small groups of up to 5 participants. This format of group swimming ensures each student gets personalized attention from the coach while offering the sociable aspect of learning with peers. Small group lessons work well for families or friends looking to learn together.

Can parents participate in the lessons?

Yes, parents can participate in our lessons with a unique parent-child program. These sessions are specifically designed for parents and their children to learn how to swim together. Parent-child classes provide a perfect opportunity for parents to bond with their children and assist them in becoming comfortable in the water while learning vital safety skills. Our highly professional instructors engage parents and children in enjoyable activities that help them boost confidence and further promote kids' water safety skills in a supportive atmosphere.
