LEARNING TO SWIM INDEPENDENTLY
Beginner Station
Here, we focus on becoming more comfortable in the water, learning the proper way to position the body while swimming, increasing the distance one can swim, and breathing effectively while swimming. The Passenger level begins with a slow and relaxed approach, offering assistance with each skill; however, by the end of the Attendant level, the swimmer is expected to independently achieve what he or she has learned.
Once the swimmer has achieved the goal of swimming independently, they hop on the Swim Express train to the Intermediate Station!

WE CATER TO YOU!
Swim lessons are available in a variety of formats to best meet your swimming goals. Since our coaches travel to you, it makes swim lessons even more convenient!
Private Lessons
Private lessons provide one-to-one, individualized instruction with the coach to most uniquely meet your swimmer’s needs. Coach travels to you, whether it’s your pool at-home or your private community pool.
Swim Together Groups
Swimming is even more fun together! Swim Together Groups are semi-private sessions designed to incorporate flexibility for siblings and friends of two or three swimmers while still improving swimming technique. Lessons are arranged by one parent that communicates with a Swim Express Scheduling Specialist.
Swim Together Classes
Swim Together Classes allow swimmers within a similar level to join an appropriate class that are available at your clubhouse pool. Classes are scheduled each season by demand and include the following communities in Parkland, Florida: MiraLago, Parkland Golf & Country Club, Cascata, and Heron Bay.
“Both of my kids have taken lessons with Swim Express. They have been nothing but professional. The method Coach Mark and his team teach allowed my kids to pick up swimming quickly. Not only that but allowed me to have the tools to continue to help my boys even outside of lessons.”
