Private Swim Lessons

Private swim lessons offer personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to each swimmer’s individual needs and goals. Unlike group lessons, where instruction is shared among multiple participants, private lessons allow for focused attention, faster progress, and customized pacing—making them ideal for swimmers of all ages and skill levels. Whether building confidence, refining technique, or overcoming specific challenges, private lessons provide a supportive environment to help swimmers thrive.

Meet The Instructors

  • Naila

    I grew up swimming at the MAC and still remember the fun I had in my own lessons. My hope is to create those same lasting memories for the kids I teach. I believe swimming should be both safe and fun, and I am a patient teacher who focuses on helping kids build confidence while setting them up to reach their full potential.

    Please note that Naila does not currently teach adult private lessons.

  • Payton

    I’m a patient and kind swim instructor who loves making lessons fun while keeping them structured. Growing up around water, I’ve always loved swimming and now love sharing that with others. I specialize in teaching kids, including those with learning disabilities, in a supportive way. Most of all, I believe everyone deserves to feel safe and confident in the water.

    Payton teaches all ages of swimmers.
