If I were to compliment them, it wouldn’t be what they can do in their 6th lesson. I liked specific learning attitudes from them. These 2 students practiced in between lessons. If we measure the progress according to my entire list of student’s 6th lesson, the guy’s progress is typical and the girl’s progress is slightly above typical.
Red Cross Swimming
“The Red Cross aims to prevent water-related injuries and fatalities through our swimming programs and water safety education. As a leader in drowning research, our programs are developed based on research findings, which allows us to address current issues and trends, and design programs aimed at reducing the number of drownings and other water-related incidents.” – Red Cross Society
Pricing
I try to set my price in a way that it can be accessible to everyone, hence I’m willing to make a waitlist for those who wanted to take paired lessons (start when I have 2 people with an agreed upon location), or you can invite a friend (starts immediately in location of your choosing).
For Solo: $425/ 1.5hr or $500 / 2hr (Average: ~$250 / hr)
For Paired: $212 / 1.5hr or $250 / 2hr (Average: ~$125 / hr)
Pretty reasonable. I travel far and pay my own way to the pool. Quite a few tip 1.5x that amount and tells me I’m worth more. I thought about it and decided to keep it at this amount. It’s really just swimming. I want more people to be safe in water, and I also want to duplicate people who can rescue other if that time ever comes.
For students whom I felt are not naturals but have put effort to learn, I will offer extra lessons for free at the convenience of my time/location (ie. before/after my other student’s lessons). Nothing gets me going more than someone struggling but puts in their weekly effort.
After learning all swimming strokes?
For adult students who have been learning from me and are able to do 50m laps comfortably, you're welcome to join me in a workout session with my other existing students where I'll polish remaining improper swimming habits and get you the weekly exercise you need. I do want you to swim quicker than 99% of the people in a typical public pool. Don’t mind diving in with you guys and get myself some exercise as well. This is free of charge.
