AYP-PrivSwim-01 - Learn to Swim: Private Lessons
Course Description
UNH Campus Recreation offers Private Swim Lessons (one participant) for children ages 3-15 who need individual attention, have special needs, learn better in a one-on-one environment, or have unique scheduling needs. Private lessons are 30 minutes in length and can be purchased in blocks of 4 or 8 lessons. Full payment is required at the time of enrollment. Students must be at least 3 years old at the time of enrollment to participate in Private Lessons.
Enrollment opens at 7pm on the Enrollment Open Dates below. If you are on this page prior to 7pm on that date, you may need to refresh the page. Space is limited - enroll early to guarantee your spot. Review the "How to Enroll" block below for instructions on enrolling.
Lesson scheduling preferences are asked as part of the CampDoc registration questions, not at the time of enrollment. Review the "CampDoc" block below for more information. Families must choose at least two available days/times. Weekend dates may not be available due to event or facility closures.
Once the registration questions are complete, the Swim Lesson coordinator will make initial contact via email to pair the student with an instructor and finalize the lesson schedule prior to the Start Date indicated on the chart below. This initial contact will typically take place within 7 business days of CampDoc completion. Lessons cannot be scheduled until the participant's CampDoc profile is 100% complete.
All lessons are held at the Swasey Indoor Pool, inside the UNH Field House, 145 Main St., Durham, NH. Additional information is sent to enrolled students/families directly from the Aquatics staff before the session start date.
Aquatics staff make every effort to accommodate all lessons as planned. In the event of cancellation due to inclement weather, a make-up session will be scheduled. Participants will be notified via email if the lesson is canceled and rescheduled.
All Private Lessons must be complete by Monday, December 14.
