Types of Swim Lessons

SLAP Technique Lessons are designed for the intermediate swimmer/triathlete looking to improve their basic understanding of stroke technique. If you can already swim freestyle across the pool with your face in the water, this is the session that is best for you.

Work directly with an experienced and knowledgeable SLAP Coach on the pool deck. A single one-hour, in-person lesson is $80 and will do more for your swimming than all the books and YouTube tutorials ever can!

We recommend athletes purchase more than one session to confirm technique changes, continue to modify technique for improvement, and allow for better understanding of success in the water. Purchase a package of 3 Stroke Technique sessions and save some money: 3 x 1 hour lessons for $220.

If you are an adult, 18 years or older, and would like to learn how to swim, please contact us (below) to start working with our amazing coaches!

Many people have a near-drowning experience in their lives. Maybe you’ve made a goal to conquer your fear of putting your face in the water. A SLAP Coach will get in the shallow water with you and lead you through a series of drills and exercises to help you learn to float and blow bubbles underwater.

Set up private lessons with a SLAP Coach to learn survival swimming. You will be more comfortable at water parks, boat trips, paddling a canoe, water skiing and so much more.

Every day, 8 adults die in the United States from drowning and 1/3 of adults cannot swim the length of the pool. Lead by example…learn how to swim for your family and friends. Show them that you can learn how to enjoy all the water activities that Florida has to offer!

A 4-pack of lessons will be scheduled once a week for a month. We highly recommend that you secure pool access for yourself (gym membership or backyard/community pool) to practice the skills between sessions.

Get ready to conquer the open water! Experience the thrill of swimming in a natural environment and take your skills to the next level with the SLAP Coaches. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned open water enthusiast, our expert coaches have the tips and tricks to help you swim faster, easier, and with more confidence.

Join us for a session in the open water and learn new skills that will help you crush your next race. Our coaches will guide you through sighting and turns using small buoys in the water. Plus, you can bring your own safer-swimmer-buoy for added safety and visibility. And as a bonus, you’ll get to keep our neon green SLAP cap as a stylish memento!

Looking to tackle a long swim event or triathlon? Our expert coaches are here for you. With a personal SLAP coach paddling alongside you, you’ll have the motivation and stroke instruction you need to complete the distance. Don’t just survive – THRIVE – in the open water with the SLAP Coaches!

Having Sara McLarty as my coach was the absolute BEST decision I've made as a triathlete. I couldn't have been better prepared for my first 70.3 race. My training is customized for me based on what I need to achieve my goals. I am amazed at how much my swim, bike, and run has improved since I started with SLAP. Thank you Sara!
