Private Swim Lessons
One-on-one lessons are available at Holmes Run Pool! Whether you are just starting out as a new swimmer or want help to improve your performance in swim meets, our swim instructors can help.
Choosing a Swim Instructor
HRARA swim instructors are independent contractors who vary in age, experience, and style. When selecting an instructor for private lessons, please consider your specific goals (basic flotation and comfort in the water, encouragement to learn swim strokes, or refining technique and efficiency for experienced swimmers). Rates are dependent on instructor training and experience.
Schedule
Swim lessons run from June 1 through July 26.
Lessons are offered all day during the week and in the afternoon on weekends. However, there is limited availability during the pool's busy period from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm on weekdays and weekends.
To schedule a lesson during this time (5-6:30 pm), please select any lesson labeled "peak hours."
Location
Lessons are in the Upper Pool, in the lane near the pool steps. Parents may choose to observe from the chairs on the pool deck, but younger swimmers may focus better when their parent or guardian is not nearby. So in some cases, it's best to give your swimmer and instructor some space. Safety is a top priority. A lifeguard is always guarding the Upper Pool during lessons.
Rescheduling & Cancellations Policy
Lessons may be rescheduled with 48 hours notice. If a lesson must be cancelled, refunds may be requested provided cancellation notice is given at least 48 hours in advance. If the pool is closed due to thunder or other reasons, members are encouraged to reschedule.
To reschedule or cancel a lesson, log in to the website and go to "Profile >> Swim Lessons."
PLEASE make every effort to reschedule or cancel your lesson if you can't make it, even if it is at the last minute. This immediately notifies your swim instructor so they won't be kept waiting!

Swim Lesson Offerings
Parent & Paddler (6 mo to 4 yrs)
Parent & Paddler lessons are for the youngest swimmers and require a parent to be in the water with their child. Children and parents learn water safety skills, water adjustment, and basic swimming strategies. Meet other parents and children of similar ages from our pool community!
Learn to Swim (3 to 7 yrs)
Children old enough to separate from their parents can sign up for Learn to Swim lessons. Children will be instructed in basic water safety, how to float in the water, submerge face under water, kick, and begin arm strokes.
Location
Lessons are in the Upper Pool, in the lane near the pool steps. For Learn to Swim classes, parents may choose to observe from the chairs on the pool deck, but younger swimmers may focus better when their parent or guardian is not nearby. So in some cases, it's best to give your swimmer and instructor some space. Safety is a top priority. A lifeguard is always guarding the Upper Pool during lessons.
Sign up for Group Swim Lessons
Registration is closed as all group classes are FULL and currently under way. Please consider enrolling in private or semi-private lessons.
Morning Lap Swimming Interest Form
Would you be interested in getting your swim workout done in the morning with an instructor and other swimmers? One of our swim instructors is interested in leading masters-like swim sessions before the pool opens in the morning (e.g., 6:30-7:30 AM). We need to know enough members are interested to consider starting this program. Please complete the brief survey at the link below to let us know you are interested. A small fee would apply to participate in the program, similar to the water aerobics program.
