Northfield Community Education

Private swimming lessons are available for anyone regardless of age or ability. Lessons are generally held at the Northfield Memorial Outdoor Pool, Monday - Friday from June 9 - August 2 (11:30 am - 8 pm) & August 3 - 8 (11:30 - 6 pm). Weekend lessons are available from June 14 - Aug. 2 (12 pm - 8 pm) & Aug. 9-10 (12 pm - 6 pm). Other people may be in the pool as the private lessons take place. To schedule a private lesson/s please pay for the number of lessons you intend to have. Following payment, you will receive an email confirmation which will include a link that will direct you to our Calendly appointment calendar where you will be able to view instructors and their specific availability. You may then select your instructor and choose time slots, up to the number of lessons that have ALREADY been paid. If and when you'd like additional lessons, you MUST register and pay again, prior to blocking out slots on the google appointment calendar. $20/half hour. Children in the SAME family who are about the same swim level may take the lesson together for the cost of one. A maximum of three children are allowed in each lesson, although one or two is the recommended number for maximum productivity. There is no recommended number of lessons or schedule of lessons. Every person may choose the number of lessons desired and a schedule that works best to meet each specific need. Some families feel that 3 lessons max are sufficient, while others spend an entire summer taking private lessons. Some take lessons and random days, while others block out a couple weeks M - F, and others choose the same day each week for 4 - 8 weeks. If in doubt, schedule one or two lessons with an instructor and talk with them about what the goals are for the child/adult. Their opinion may be beneficial to how you'd like to structure private lessons this summer. Lessons cannot be scheduled less than 24 hours out. Please cancel within 24 hours to receive a refund, or to be given the opportunity to reschedule. If extenuating circumstances occur, and you cannot make it to your scheduled lessons, please call your instructor at least 3 hours before your lesson. No shows will result in a forfeit of the lesson cost. You may contact your instructor directly to reschedule lessons. Instructors will connect with you directly should there be a cancellation due to weather. They will work with you to schedule a make-up, or a refund will be provided if they are unable to accommodate.
