Every lesson includes a variety of equipment to help support every swimmer in achieving their goals. Private, at-home lessons are ideal for those who need extra one-on-one time with an instructor. Additionally, a familiar environment can reduce anxiety and distractions during lessons. Because of the nature of lessons with Swim Lessons by Marena, any lesson can can be adapted to meet most swimmers' needs, however private and semi-private lessons are ideal for providing more one-on-one instruction and paced time to practice each skill as needed. Swimmers can incorporate learning strategies and tools from out of the pool into their lesson as well.
