Aquatics - Learn to Swim

Bowling Green State University offers swim lessons for all people age six months through adult and all skill levels from beginning to advanced swimmers taught by fully certified American Red Cross Water Safety Instructors.  View upcoming lesson dates.

Lesson Types 

Small Group Lessons
Small Group Lessons have a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 6 participants per class. If class does not meet minimum number of participants, class will be cancelled. If class is cancelled due to low enrollment, consider semi-private or private lessons (additional fees apply).

Semi-Private Lessons (by appointment only)
Specialized and intensive swim instruction for 2 to 3 students 3 years and up. Learn and improve skills quickly. Please keep in mind we do not match-up children for semi-private lessons; please assemble your group in advance. Participants must be at similar swimming abilities/levels.

Private Lessons (by appointment only) 
Private swim lessons are offered to interested parties who cannot fit group lessons into their busy schedules or just prefer one-on-one instruction. Times and dates of lessons are determined between the assigned instructor and participant.
