Private Lessons |
Currently the Ruth Inch Memorial Pool is not running Private Lessons.Private swimming lessons are a great way to finish a level that you have been working on, perfect a difficult stroke, jump start a beginner or just get some individualized instruction. We offer private lessons for individuals, duos and groups. Group Lessons can be set up for 6 children or more who are at a similar swimming level. Times may be arranged to accommodate your schedule.
