Private Swimming Lessons
We teach beginning swimmers the fundamentals, basic strokes and strategies of competitive swimming. Lessons vary in length – 30 to 60 minutes – based on the ability level and age.
Coach Duin uses a variety of training aids, including timing devices and other technology. Reserving a regular time weekly, biweekly or monthly guarantees your swimmer a lesson.
Private Lessons Starting Price: $40/per half hour for 1-on-1.
Small Group Swimming Lessons
Group lessons are the most fun and economical way to teach a small group of beginners between 4-8 years of age. The primary purpose is to provide a foundation of corrective instruction to existing strokes as well as introduce new strokes and master starts, turns and finishes.
Classes last one hour and include a 15-minute play period at the end of the session. Groups are typically 6 swimmers with a 3-to-1 student-coach ratio.
Small Group Lesson Starting Price: $25/per lesson or $100/mo. per swimmer
Competitive Swimming Team Clinics
Competitive swim team clinics are an excellent way to sharpen team stroke technique, improve times and provide teaching strategies for the coaching staff. The focus is on the four competitive strokes, underwater kicking, starts and turns.
These are hands-on teaching sessions incorporating the newest technologies and strategies. Clinics can be customized to team’s needs and scheduled to fit your facility schedule.
Clinics Starting Price: $25/per swimmer includes a cap and shirt. Clinics typically last 1.5 hours an include an instructional film session (when facilities permit). A minimum of 40 swimmers suggested.
“When my daughter was having a hard time getting a STAGS time we took stroke correction lessons with Coach Bob and the next competitive meet she achieved STAGS times in 7 events.”
