Private Swimming Lessons

Private Swimming Lessons are available from June to early August, in a very limited capacity, to anyone seeking individual lessons at the Orange Beach Aquatics Center. Learn to Swim and Stroke Development lessons are offered.

The child must be at least 2 years old as of January 1, 2023, in order to be enrolled in private lessons. 

Learn-to-Swim Sessions

This class is designed for children who can follow instructions and are ready to swim without their parents. Instructors will guide the participant. Each private session contains four, 30-minute classes, held Monday through Thursday for one week. Make-ups for instructor absence or inclement weather will be on Friday. Limited to one non-swimmer participant per lesson.

Stroke Development Sessions

This class is designed for children who can adequately swim front crawl but need work on perfecting their stroke. There will also be an opportunity to learn new strokes. Instructors will guide each participant through each swim lesson from the deck. Each private session contains four, 30-minute classes, held Monday through Thursday for one week. Make-ups for instructor absence or inclement weather will be on Friday.
