Private Lessons

Private swim lessons provide the greatest flexibility and one-on-one attention for swimmers of any age. AmberJax offers private lessons at all locations in our program. Lessons will start and end promptly, so plan on arriving 10-15 minutes beforehand so that you can change into your swim suit and start your lesson on time.

Schedule some private lessons with the instructor of your choice and get all the feedback you need to take your swimming to the next level, no matter what your starting point is. Below are a list of cost per private lesson and coaches that you can contact if you're interested in setting an appointment.
