overview

USF Recreation & Wellness offers a multitude of Swim Lesson opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities. During the school year, we only host adult group lessons. For information about our children group lessons, check out our Summer Swim Program page. 

We host private and semi-private lessons on a rolling basis throughout the year for both children and adults! All of our instructors are American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Certified. In addition to your swimming skills, you will also learn everything from water safety to lap swimming etiquette. Our goal is to build confidence, knowledge, and skills in the aquatic environment!
