Swim Lessons
At this time we are accepting requests from members only.
Private and semi-private swim lessons are offered at Southern Village Club by qualified instructors!
2022 Swim Lessons
Swim lessons will begin in early to late May, depending on water temperature. After review of your swim lesson registration, your instructor will contact you via email to schedule your first visit. Private lessons are for one individual (or parent &child if child is under 3 years of age). Semi-private lessons are for no more than 3 individuals, all of similar swim abilities.
If you have questions, please email manager@southernvillageclub.com. All lessons must be paid for in advance of the lesson.
Please note: The club maintains a 24-hour cancellation policy, cancellations made within this timeframe or no-shows will be charged the full amount of the lesson. If an unexpected illness occurs, you must text your instructor at least 2 hours before your lesson to avoid being charged. By registering your child for lessons, you agree to these conditions.
We will be offering beginner, intermediate, and advanced swim lessons. Children under the age of 3 will be required to have a parent or guardian actively participating in the lessons, in the water.
