Private Swim Lessons

Program Overview

Berthoud Recreation offers private swim lessons for all ages and abilities. Private lessons are offered as a 1:1 instructor-to-swimmer ratio, and semi-private lessons as a 2:1 swimmer-to-instructor ratio. When conducting semi-private lessons, swimmers must have similar swim abilities and be approved by the instructor to do the semi-private lesson. A private swim instructor application must be submitted online or at the Berthoud Recreation Center. Once your application is received, the Aquatics Specialist will review your application and place you with the best-suited instructor for your skill, ability, and availability.

2. An instructor will reach out to you based on their availability to schedule your first lesson once an instructor is assigned to your request.

3. You will then create a schedule with the instructor that works for both parties.

4. On the first day of your scheduled lesson, you will need to purchase your swim lesson pack at the front desk. After purchasing, bring the receipt to your instructor to confirm payment.
