ONE-ON-ONE LESSONS

Instruction Designed With Your Child In Mind.

Dragon Swim Academy’s one-on-one program specializes in creating safe, customized swim instruction for swimmers of all ages and abilities. Using positive reinforcement, we provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment — from a child’s first splash to advanced competitive stroke work. We are not an ISR program. 

All lessons are taught one-on-one and keep your child's cognitive, physical, and emotional development in mind. Click here to meet our instructors!

Students in our program build swim skills and develop self-confidence near water, leading to a lifetime of safety and enjoyment in aquatic environments.

Currently, all one-on-one lessons are taught at Windermere Prep. Please click here to view more information about our locations.

Availability changes by season. Please contact us at [email protected] for open time slots.
