Why are teen swimming lessons so important?
Some teens may feel embarrassed about learning to swim. That’s why private swim lessons are so effective—no audience, no pressure, just one-on-one guidance from a skilled instructor focused on helping your teen succeed.
And yet, Water safety is a life skill that should not be delayed. The sooner they start with a private swim instructor, the better prepared they’ll be for pool parties, beach trips, or water parks.
Why are teen swimming lessons so important?
For teens who already have a grasp of swimming basics, formal swimming lessons can provide a perfect way to go from a beginner swimmer to swim team-ready.
Intermediate private lessons will usually include developing the  mechanics of the various competitive strokes; freestyle (or front crawl), backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke. For a teen looking to join a swim team, a working knowledge of these strokes is a must.
While a teen will learn how to do these swimming strokes from a swim team coach, private swim lessons ensure that a swimmer has a strong grasp on proper stroke form. Intermediate lessons for teens can also include introductions to other competitive swim skills, such as diving, flip turns, breathing technique, treading water and underwater streamline work.
Advanced and competitive swimmers benefit from private lessons too
Even experienced swimmers can benefit from teen swim lessons near me. Private lessons provide focused, one-on-one coaching to help competitive swimmers refine their technique and improve performance. With a dedicated private swim instructor, teens can target specific skills like hand pulls, kicks, and stroke timing. Advanced techniques such as relay starts, backstroke starts, diving skills, and flip turns can also be practiced and perfected.
Teen lessons have always been my favorite to teach. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to teach teens at almost every level: beginners learning how to swim, teens enrolled in the GuardStart program, competitive swimmers on swim teams, and everything in between. Most of my work with teens has been with non-swimmer beginners looking to gain the fundamental basics of swimming. This has included teens who were terrified of water as well as teens who simply hadn’t yet had the opportunity to learn how to swim.

Jessica was sensational! She was patient, professional, knowledgeable. I could see how she made my daughter comfortable and she imparted trustworthiness so that my daughter was willing to follow her instructions and move beyond her comfort zone. By the end of the lessons my daughter was swimming and feeling proud of her accomplishments. Thanks Jessica. - Jacquelyn R.

Charis has been amazing!!! Our 3 year old is swimming! Not only has she given her the tools to swim on her own but she was very great at handling our stubborn 3 year old when she was not wanting to participate in the lesson. She was able to come up with creative ways to get her back on track and make it fun for her. Charis was always on time, professional, and very good at communicating with me. I am so happy with the entire experience!- Heather J.
