For information on our lesson curriculum and what to expect, click here.
03 / Booking
To help keep our summer schedule running smoothly, we prioritize “swim groups” — groups of 3 to 6 swimmers taking back-to-back private lessons at the same location. Grouping lessons in one spot helps us minimize travel time, stay on schedule, and serve more families. Swimmers can be any age/skill level, since they'll each get their own individual private lesson. While we do our best to accommodate 1–2 swimmer requests, organizing a group with friends or neighbors is the most reliable way to secure your preferred time and ensure we can reach as many swimmers as possible. Please signup here for more info on these options and how signups will work, coming soon!

Host Swimmer: $458 for 9 weeks of 1-1 lessons (host gets 1 lesson free for organizing!)
Participant Swimmers: $515 for 9 weeks of 1-1 lessons

Private 1-on-1 Lessons at Your Backyard or Neighborhood Pool
Swim Lessons with Mary offers traveling swim lessons each summer - our experienced instructors travel to your pool for weekly, 1-1 swim lessons! This is a highly sought after program, our most popular offering and sells out in record time each year. In order to keep travel routes efficient and help bring water safety to as many families as possible, lessons are scheduled using a group-based booking system (this does not mean group instruction). Every swimmer receives 30-minute, 1-on-1 private lessons, but groups of swimmers booking together are prioritized to keep our logistics as efficient as possible.
Program Overview
- 30-minute private lessons
- Session dates: May 26 – August 11, 2026
- 9 lessons over 11 weeks
- 1 built-in vacation week for your family

Swim Lesson Groups (Required for Mobile Lessons)
To book mobile lessons, families form a Swim Lesson Group of 3–6 swimmers at the same location.
- Swimmers take turns in back-to-back private lessons
- Groups are the only option that can guarantee and lock in a weekly day and time
- One family acts as the 'host' and completes the booking at time of signup for the group
Time Blocks
Lessons are offered Monday–Friday in the following blocks:
- Morning: 9:00 AM
- Afternoon: 12:30 PM
- Evening: 4:00 PM
Scheduling notes:
- Start times stay the same each week
- If a swimmer is absent or has a vacation week, the end time moves up, but the start time does not change. Swimmers should be flexible within their scheduled time block and plan accordingly to arrive to swim in an earlier time spot.

Cancellation & Weather Policies
- One built-in vacation week for your swimmer is included to accommodate family vacations or planned time away. There is also a built-in vacation week included for your instructor.
- Lessons are scheduled in advance and cannot be rescheduled for individual conflicts or missed classes. There are no exceptions.
Because our instructors travel between multiple homes each day and follow carefully planned routes, we are unable to adjust schedules or offer make-ups for individual absences. - Lessons may be canceled due to severe weather (thunder and lightning). All weather-related cancellations are determined solely by Swim Lessons with Mary, usually no more than 25–30 minutes before the scheduled start time due to changing conditions.
- Weather cancellations will be made up, but the reschedule date must be determined/coordinated with your instructor within 7 days of the cancellation. The makeup session should include the entire swim lesson group who did not receive a lesson at one shared day and time. Individual make-ups and refunds for weather are not available.
