Private Lesssons

Often, the most effective way to learn to swim is by enlisting the help of a private instructor. The Recreation Center of Highland Park offers private and semi-private swimming lessons for participants of all ages. Based on the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculum, swimmers will receive personalized instruction based on their needs and current swim abilities. For safety purposes, all spectators must observe classes from the observation room. Please contact Jeanne Lewis  at 847.579.4052 or jlewis@pdhp.org for more information on signing up for private swim lessons.
