Private Lessons VS Group Lessons: Choosing the Right Swim Lessons for Your Child
Simply put, people learn in different ways. Some thrive with individualized attention, while others are motivated by a team environment. Often, a child may benefit from private lessons at first and then excel in group settings later. At Premier Aquatic Services, we understand that every swimmer’s needs are unique.

Establishing Trust and Comfort

For children who are apprehensive around water, one-on-one time with a trained instructor can help build trust—both in the teacher and the learning process. Once your child feels comfortable, group lessons can provide a supportive environment with peers learning the same skills.

Building Confidence

Confidence often starts in private lessons, where children can focus on the basics without distraction. Later, group lessons can help children flourish, as they gain motivation, encouragement, and inspiration from seeing other swimmers progress.

Developing Skills

Children are naturally observant, and group lessons allow them to learn from watching peers. Being part of a group helps little swimmers refine their strokes, improve coordination, and practice skills in a collaborative, fun setting.

Overcoming Challenges

Every swimmer faces skills that are challenging. Group lessons can be supplemented with private lessons to provide focused guidance and help your child overcome difficult techniques.

Learning Advanced Skills

For swimmers moving into competitive programs or summer swim teams, private lessons allow instructors to target specific techniques tailored to each child’s strengths and areas for improvement.
