Summer 2020 Private Lessons

Summer 2020 RSC will be offering private outdoor swim lessons this year!  You can now book your own Private Swim Program, for up to 3 people maximum (must be in the same household or bubble).  This will consist of 5 x 30-minute lessons at the same time each day for the duration of one week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday).  All ages welcome 4 to 100 years old.

When registering, we ask that you comment in the “Additional Information” field, the number and ages of the people in your private swim group (up to 3 people total) as well as the level of each person as seen below (best guess).
