*A deposit for the first two lessons ($150) will be required at registration. This will be applied towards the final balance. The final  balance will be invoiced and is due upon the last lesson. I am not able to offer discounts.

*Please note the Swim With Jennifer program only offers one-on-one lessons. My teaching method requires that I only teach one child per 25-minute lesson.

Private Lessons, ages 12 months through age 9, with some exceptions for older swimmers:  My program offers only private, one-on-one lessons–I do not offer group lessons. Private lessons enable me to adapt the lesson to the swimmer’s age, ability and personality on all levels, assuring the maximum progress possible in each lesson. Each lesson is 25 minutes long and starts on the half hour.

“Baby And Me” Lessons, ages 12 months through about 2.5 years: These classes are very popular for the “little ones.” One or both parents will be in the water holding your baby, as I teach you how to swim with your child. Parent and child can experience a real “bonding” time and have fun while your child is learning water skills and awareness. You may progress at your own pace. Parent need not know how to swim. Each lesson is 25 minutes long and starts on the half hour.

Who:  My program is geared towards children, ages 12 months up to about age 9, with some exceptions for older swimmers. I work with beginning, intermediate and advanced swimmers.

How Often: 2-4 lessons per week is recommended. Each lesson is 25 minutes long and begins on the half hour. Swimmers who arrive late for a lesson will have to end their lesson by the half hour and will be charged for a full lesson. 

How many lessons should you sign up for?  This tends to go on a case-by-case basis, but generally infants through age 3 will need 4-6 lessons. New swimmers, ages 3 and above will typically need 10 lessons, to become independent swimmers. Returning swimmers who have practiced to maintain their skills, usually need only 4-6 lessons. Since I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual, these are only “guesstimates” and you and I can discuss in detail your child’s lesson needs.

Cancellations:  A full charge on all “no show” lessons or cancellation after 9am on lesson day.

To cancel a lesson: Please send an email or voice mail to:

Unique Needs: Through the years I have taught swimming to numerous adults and children with a variety of unique needs, ranging from physical or mental handicaps to extreme fear or trauma issues relating to water. Additionally, I have been very successful at teaching people to swim who have been through a variety of other swim programs and who have never before been successful at learning to swim or overcoming their fear of water.  I have a special love of working with students who may have one or more of these needs. I do not currently teach adults.
