Private and Semi-Private Lessons

Ages: 3-9+

- Private classes offer 1:1 instruction between your child and one instructor. Private lessons follow the same development as group lessons unless there is something specific you are looking to improve upon. Aquatics can cater the private lessons to your needs.

- Semi-Private classes offer 2:1 instruction. Have you ever wanted your children to swim privately with the same instructor? Or wanted your child to swim in the same class with their friend only? You know have the chance to sign them up together! If you're interested in this option, you'll actually sign up one of the children first - then before the first lesson, connect with the Aquatics unit to provide the second child's information. If you have any questions, please email AJ Rooney at arooney@ucdavis.edu. 

*Children must turn 3 before first lesson*
