Group Swim Lessons
Our aquatics program offers group swim lessons for children ages 3 - 9 and college students. These lessons are designed for non-swimmers learning basic skills and water safety, and beginning swimmers transitioning to using defined strokes.
Registration for group lessons will open for Spring 2026 on January 14th, 2026, and close February 4th, 2026!
Our Preschool Swim Lessons are designed for children from ages 3-5 years old. Your child will focus on water adjustment and beginning skills with water safety topics. Familiarize children to the aquatic environment and help them acquire rudimentary basic aquatic skills. Help participants begin to develop positive attitudes and safe practices in and around water. Swimming skills will always be introduced with the guidance and support from an instructor, and will gradually progress to individual swimming as your child advances.

Our Level 2 Learn to Swim Program will teach basic swimming strokes, water safety, and confidence in the water. Your child will build on the basic aquatic skills and water safety skills and concepts learned from previous beginner swim experience so that they can successfully demonstrate the Learn-to-Swim Level 2 water skills. Your child will be taught in a comfortable environment where they can progress at their own pace, and every milestone is celebrated.

Private Swim Lessons
Private swim lessons are offered to those individuals (ages 3 - adult) who desire the benefits of one-on-one aquatic instruction. Private lessons are tailored to the individual, whether to improve specific techniques, gain overall confidence, or focus on more advanced skills. Lessons are offered in 30-minute or 45-minute sessions, with various packages available. Semi-private lessons are also provided for groups of two to three swimmers.
Private Swim Lessons are in high demand, and we have limited instructors available.
Below is the link to our interest form. After filling out the form, an instructor will contact you to arrange class days/times when they have an opening. We will do our best to find an instructor within 90 days, but it is not guaranteed.

Policies And Recommendations
FIRST DAY:
Please arrange a time to come to the front desk to process payment; if coming before your lesson, please give yourself at least 10-15 minutes to process paperwork and get your swipe access cards.
When you arrive each day, please hand the Customer Service Attendant your card and say, “I am here for Private Swim Lessons.” They will swipe your card. You may now enter the facility and participate in your swim lesson. It is imperative that you have your card swiped each day you enter the facility, including the first day.
POLICIES & RECOMMENDATIONS:
- If you cancel a scheduled lesson without 24 hours notice or do not show up for your lesson, you do not get a make-up for that lesson. The instructor will notify the Aquatics Admin Staff, and that lesson will be deducted from your account. If the instructor needs to cancel the lesson, it should be done at least 24 hours in advance. You will not be penalized if your instructor cancels.
- Please email [email protected] if you find that your instructor is canceling frequently
- If you arrive late for your lesson, you will still need to conclude your lesson at the regularly scheduled time. If the instructor is late, the lesson will continue for the full 30 or 45 minute time.
- Instructors will only wait 15 minutes for late arrivals. After 15 minutes, the lesson will be determined a “no show” and will be counted as a used lesson.
- To get best results, lessons should be conducted once every week. As several of our instructors are students, they may go home during University scheduled breaks such as the following: Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer. Fall and Spring are only a week long. Winter and Summer are over a month which may impact lessons from occurring regularly. When scheduling your lessons, please plan accordingly around breaks so that all lessons can be completed before breaks occur.
- Goggles are HIGHLY recommended. If you forget goggles, we sell goggles at our front desk.
- There is no swimming before or after class unless you are a member and for minors it is during minro access time. Please communicate with your instructor if you are a member (the instructor will verify after the lesson). Please keep other children out of the pool.
- Parents and/or guardians must remain on the deck during the lesson.
- All private and semi-private swim lessons will expire after six (6) months from the day of purchase.
- Parking & Lesson Expiration: For an additional fee, parking passes for private lessons can be purchased online through Parking Services after paying for your swim lessons. Please be aware that parking on campus in designated lots without a parking pass will result in a ticket. Parking passes are only available for participants who are not George Mason University Faculty, Staff, or Students. Depending on the amount of lessons your parking pass will expire:
- 3 lesson = 1 month
- 6 lessons = 3 months
- 10 lessons = 6 months
