The Drexel Recreation Center offers swim lessons to adults (age 15+) who wish to learn to swim or improve their skill level in group or private settings. The adult participant will work directly with their instructor to outline specific individual goals and objectives they have for the course.
Each group session is offered over 4 weeks, twice a term. Please email aquatics@drexel.edu or call 215-895-5915 for each term’s group lesson schedule.
Semi-private and private lessons are scheduled based on instructor and swimmer availability. Please visit the Welcome Center to schedule your lessons today.
Group Beginner Lessons
The beginner class is designed to help participants become more comfortable in the water. Instructors work with participants to outline individual goals while providing basic swimming techniques, such as floating, body balance, kicking and the basics of freestyle. Maximum of 4 participants per class.
Group Intermediate Lessons
At the intermediate level, participants will work on stroke technique and endurance. Participants must be able to swim the length of the pool and be comfortable in deep water. Instructors will work on achieving participant's individual goals. Maximum of 4 participants per class.
Group Advanced Lessons
Advanced lessons are designed for swimmers who want to work on individual stroke technique and performance. Lessons run depending on the swimmer's goals, but all swimmers should be able to complete a 30-minute basic swim practice.
Instructors for these classes have a competitive swimming background and work closely with the swimmers to reach their personal goals. Maximum of 4 swimmers per class.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are one-to-one sessions with an instructor that best fits your swimming goals. Lessons are sold in 1, 4, or 10 packs of 30-minute sessions and can rollover throughout one academic calendar year (September - August). You may request an instructor.
Semi-Private Lessons
Semi-Private lessons are 3:1 or 2:1 sessions. You create and register with your group (two or three people total), and we assign an instructor to best fit your group's needs. Lessons are sold in 1, 4, or 10 packs (30 minutes per session) and can rollover throughout one academic calendar year (September - August). You may request an instructor.
