Private
Private swim lessons offer an individual-based structure and maintain a one-on-one focus. Private lessons are great for all skill levels and are an excellent way to get you or your child comfortable in the water fast.
The accommodating schedule of private lessons meets the needs of parents who cannot make it during the allotted time frame for group lessons. Lessons are available Monday – Friday when the pool is open.
Group
Group lessons are structured the same as private lessons, with the children benefiting from observing and learning alongside their peers. Group swim lessons are capped at 4 per class.
Meet the Water Safety Instructors
Hello! I have been an active part of the aquatics/fitness division at Shalom Orlando since 2021, starting as a lifeguard and eventually certifying as a Water Safety Instructor in 2022. I enjoy being in the water and teaching people of all ages to swim and how to be safe around water. I have taught more than 400 lessons – both individual and group. Having fun, learning skills, building confidence, and above all being safe are the main goals for all my lessons. I look forward to meeting you.

I have been a certified swim instructor since 2018. I love helping kids build confidence and feel safe in the water! I teach students from 6 months through 99 years, focusing on water safety, skill development, and lots of positive encouragement. That’s all swimming is, confidence. My goal is to make every lesson safe and fun at the JCC.
