Swim Lessons

The Downtown Athletic Club offers private and semi-private swim lessons to both DAC Members and Guests. Our lessons are customized to meet the needs of the swimmer. Private lessons are an amazing opportunity to see swimmers gain confidence, learn new skills, increase endurance while swimming, and become safe in the water.

Whether you or your swimmer are learning to blow bubbles or compete, we have an instructor for you!
