Private Swim Lessons in Colorado Springs

One-on-one instruction for swimmers who need focused attention, extra confidence, or help reaching a specific goal.

Personalized instruction to complement your swimmer's journey.

Pikes Peak Athletics offers private swim lessons for swimmers who benefit from individualized instruction. Private lessons can be used alongside group lessons, as a transition into group instruction, or to focus on a specific skill or goal.

Who Can Benefit From Private Swim Lessons?
Private lessons can be especially helpful for swimmers who:

  • Experience a high level of fear or anxiety around the water

  • Have special needs that require one-on-one attention

  • Need focused help with a specific swimming skill

  • Are working toward Base Camp, swim team, or another swimming goal

Private Lessons for Younger Swimmers

For children under 12, PPA generally recommends group lessons as the primary learn-to-swim environment, with private lessons used as a supplement or as a transition into group instruction. This approach allows children to receive focused individual help while also benefiting from the consistency and social learning of a group program.

Where Are Private Lessons Available?

Ongoing private lessons are offered at the PPA Training Center and Country Club of Colorado based on instructor availability. Seasonal private lesson opportunities may also be offered at other PPA locations.

Need more attention than a Group Class, but not a Private Lesson?
PPA also offers Mini Group Lessons with only two swimmers per instructor. Mini groups provide more focused instruction and fewer distractions while maintaining the benefits of learning with another swimmer.
