The South Dakota State University Wellness Center offers swim lessons for individuals of all ages and swimming abilities. Private swim lessons are designed specifically for the participant to achieve their swimming goals. Whether just getting familiar with the water or looking to improve on existing skills, our instructors will create a fun and comfortable environment. All swimming lessons are 30-minute sessions with an experienced swim instructor either working in an individual or group setting.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are one-on-one swim instruction with developed plans to meet the participant's swim goals. Participants will gain confidence in the water while improving on skills, and enhancing techniques. Our instructors are experienced in working with individuals of all ages and a variety of experience levels. Lessons are open to students, members and non-members.
