About our adult swim lessons

Most adults who come to Splash are nervous in the water. Some never learned as kids, and some had a scary experience they still remember. That's normal, and it's exactly where we start.

Your instructor won't rush you into deep water or ask you to put your face in before you're ready. Every step happens at your pace, and you're in control the whole time.

How your lessons build

We build confidence first and strokes later. Most adults move through these stages:

  1. 1Comfort and control. Getting in, breathing calmly, standing up from a float, and knowing you can always get to the wall.
  2. 2Water safety. Floating on your own, recovering to standing, and getting yourself to safety.
  3. 3Skills and strokes. Kicking, gliding, then front crawl and other strokes, once the basics feel easy.

This follows our three Skill Waves: Water Confidence & Safety, Foundational Development, and Advanced Techniques. There are no levels to pass or fail.

Why adults learn to swim

  • Enjoy vacations, beaches, cottages and pools without worrying about the water.
  • Get in the pool with your kids or grandkids instead of watching from the side.
  • Stay safe around water, and know what to do if someone else needs help.
  • Keep active with low-impact exercise you can enjoy for life.

Private and group options

Private lessons give you one instructor and a pace set entirely by you, and they're the best start if you're afraid of the water. In Burlington, you can also join an Adults group of up to 3 swimmers at the same Skill Wave (up to 4 in Advanced Techniques).

FAQ

Adult Swim Lessons: common questions

How much do adult swim lessons cost?

Private lessons are $80 per 40-minute lesson in Brampton and Burlington, or $70 for Burlington Hall members. Summer backyard lessons in Milton are $75. Adults groups in Burlington are $35 per swimmer, or $30 in Advanced Techniques.

Is it too late to learn to swim as an adult?

Of course not! We have taught adults 90+ years old. Our instructors teach adults of every age, including complete beginners. Progress starts wherever you are today. Just like learning anything new, it takes time and practice to improve and we're with you every step of the way!

I'm afraid of the water. Can you still teach me?

Yes! That's where most of our adult swimmers start. Your first lessons focus on feeling comfortable and in control, and nothing new happens until you're ready.

Do I have to put my face in the water?

Not until you're ready. We build up to it in small steps, starting with breathing out at the surface.

Once your comfortable with it, our instructors begin working on breath control, and other techniques to get you on your way to learning front crawl.

How many lessons does it take to learn to swim?

This is one of the most common questions we're asked, and unfortunately there is no set number. Our curriculum is skill-based, so your swimmer moves forward as each skill clicks, not on a fixed timeline. Your instructor will share progress along the way.

Can I take lessons with my partner or child?

Absolutely! Sharing a lesson with your partner or child is a fun weekly activity. You are right there to celebrate every small win together, and to support each other as you learn.

In Brampton, a second swimmer from the same family can join a private lesson at no extra cost. In Burlington, semi-private lessons for 2 or 3 family members are $85 for two and $100 for three.
