HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GROUP AND PRIVATE LESSONS
Private Lessons
Marlin Swim Academy was built on private swimming lessons and we have clients travel far and wide for our programs and instructors!
Private lessons are recommended for:
-
Swimmers who want to progress quicker than they have been in group lessons.
-
Swimmers who need a little extra support in the water. They may have special needs, have very high energy or are a little nervous.
-
Swimmers or parents recovering from water-related trauma.
-
New swimmers who would be in the wrong age group if they registered in group lessons. For example, a 10 year old who is new to swimming and has little no water skills yet, would be placed in the beginner level with 6 year olds. This isn't great for their confidence so, we recommend private lessons until they catch up to their age group!
Be sure to connect with a Marlin Swim Academy team member to determine the best instructor fit for your needs. Read more on our instructor levels here.

Group Lessons
Our group swimming lessons are quickly becoming Hamilton and Niagara's most sought-after classes!
Here's why: Our group class ratio is kept very low at 3:1. Our friendly, knowledgable and experienced instructors are able to keep control of the classes and everyone safe and moving to maximize swimmer progress. While our private lessons are much more popular, we offer group lessons whenever we can.
Group lessons are best for swimmers who:
-
Can thrive working on a skill-based curriculum
-
Works well with other swimmers
