Private Lessons

Individual tennis lessons are offered as an alternative to group lessons. Sign up for private swim lessons will begin at the 2008 summer registration on May 17, 2008. Once signed up, arrangements for private lessons may be made with the individual instructor through the Recreation Department. The instructor will call to schedule lessons on an agreeable time and date, starting with the first person on the sign-up list. Payment for private lessons will be due at the beginning of the week for all of the week’s scheduled lessons.

Please choose schedules with instructors wisely. The instructors get paid on a per lesson basis; cancellations without payment result in instructors not getting paid. Cancellations must be received more than 24 hours in advance. Lessons canceled less than 24 hours in advance will still be assessed the entire fee to compensate instructors for their time. Should an instructor need to cancel, the lesson will be rescheduled with no penalty to the student.

Fee per half hour: $15 Residents, $17 Non-residents
