Santa Clara University is proud to provide private swimming lessons to a range of swimmers, with any and all levels of experience. We offer lessons for six weeks during the fall & spring academic quarters & then summer lessons in two week sessions.
We happily provide lessons to swimmers six months and up. Please note our pool is only heated to 80 degrees year round- children under the age of 3 may not do well in our facility for lessons due to not being able to swim to stay warm. Lessons are planned to be swimmer-specific and address the concerns of each individual.
