Private Swim Lessons for all ages and abilities

Every Splash private lesson is built around one swimmer. Your instructor tailors each 40-minute lesson to your swimmer's skills, abilities and goals, and adjusts as they grow, so they progress at their own pace rather than through set levels. Private lessons welcome swimmers of all ages and abilities, including nervous and neurodivergent swimmers, and run year-round in heated indoor pools in Brampton and Burlington. Lessons are $80, and in Brampton a second swimmer from the same family can join at no extra cost.

About our private swim lessons

A private lesson is 40 minutes with one Certified Splash Instructor, focused entirely on your swimmer. Your instructor shapes each lesson around your swimmer's pace, their goals, and what helps them feel safe in the water.

Lessons follow our skill-based curriculum, not age-based levels. Your instructor sets goals with you for your swimmer, chooses each next skill around those goals, and tracks their progress along the way, so every lesson moves your swimmer forward at their own pace.

Who private lessons are for

Private lessons work well for almost any swimmer. Families often choose them for first-time swimmers building water comfort, nervous swimmers, and swimmers who've had a hard experience in the water before. They're also a great fit for autistic swimmers and swimmers with ADHD or sensory processing differences, and for swimmers refining a stroke or building endurance for deep water. Adults are welcome too; see Adult Swim Lessons.

In Brampton, a second swimmer from the same family can join a private lesson at no extra cost, if the instructor decides it's safe. In Burlington, siblings can learn together in a semi-private lesson.

Our instructors

Every Splash instructor holds National Lifeguard and Intermediate First Aid with CPR-C & AED certifications, and has a cleared Vulnerable Sector Check. Each one also completes our in-house training in the Splash curriculum, including how to work with neurodivergent swimmers and swimmers with medical complexities.

FAQ

Private Swim Lessons: common questions

How much do private swim lessons cost?

Private swim lessons are $80 per 40-minute lesson, or $65 at the ErinoakKids pool. In Brampton, a second swimmer from the same family can join at no extra cost. In Burlington, Burlington Hall members pay $70, and semi-private lessons for 2 or 3 swimmers from the same family are $85 for two and $100 for three.

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.

Do you offer private swim lessons for adults?

Yes! Our instructors teach all ages, and it's never too late to learn. See Adult Swim Lessons for more details.

What's the difference between a private lesson and an adaptive swim session?

Both are taught by instructors trained to adapt to every swimmer. An adaptive swim session adds a Registered Behaviour Analyst who builds your swimmer's plan and guides the instructor on skills that aren't always swimming related, and may be eligible for OAP funding.

What happens if my child is sick and misses a lesson?

Sickness happens, and we want all of our swimmers to take the time they need to recover. Please let us know before hand, or mark the absence in the dashboard. Each enrollment is eligible for 2 make up lessons per session. We book makeups into open spots, so we can't always guarantee one, and in extenuating circumstances we offer a credit instead.

Do I need to stay during the lesson?

Yes! A parent or caregiver stays on site for the full lesson, so there's no delay for the next family.
