    Private Swimming Lessons

    We offer private swim lessons for everyone from beginners to elite swimmers.

    Knowing how to swim is a vital water safety skill that everyone should possess. In addition to knowing how to swim in order to prevent drowning, swimming builds cardiovascular fitness, increases stamina, improves muscle strength and flexibility and can improve posture and balance.

    All swimmers should wear proper swimwear in the Pool House.

    First Time Swimmers

    The St. James swim instructors work with beginners from infants to adults to make sure everyone is comfortable in the pool. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends youth swimming lessons to protect from drowning as early as age one. Parents are welcome to watch from our comfortable spectator seating we guide their children through water basics. Private lessons are available for adults of every age as well. Adults in particular often benefit from personalized attention to help them overcome any preconceived notions or fears of the water.

    Instructors teach the basics, including safely entering the pool, floating, treading water, breathing, kicking with your legs and stroking with your arms. The St. James Swim Program recommends new swimmers should expect to spend at least 2 hours a week in the pool to achieve competency.

    Advanced Swim Lessons

    The St. James Swim offers advanced lessons for competitive swimmers who are looking to improve in the pool. Whether its correcting form, practicing dives or kick turns, or working on an individual stroke - we have expert instructors to guide you to become faster and more powerful in the water. One-on-one instruction allows for coaches to identify weaknesses and suggest ways to improve on a personalized basis. This is how individual swimmers can gain a competitive edge and advance to elite levels in the sport.
