Private Swim Lessons

Swimming and water sports are a fundamental part of the Boy Scout program. Annual swim tests are held every year to attend summer camp. The Swimming Merit Badge is required for Eagle. All scouts have to complete swimming requirements for 2nd and 1st class. If navigating the water is new or uncomfortable for you, we can help!

Our swim instructors work with all ages and abilities. Through our private lesson program, we've helped students not only learn to love the water, but to go from standing in the shallow end to diving in the ocean.
