Roland Park Swimming Pool is happy to offer private swim lessons for the 2024 season through our Water Safety Instructor Certified Lifeguards and Managers. Please contact a swim lessons instructor to set up lessons for yourself or your child.
The lessons will follow the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor (WSI) program including consistent lesson plans, continuity in the progression of learning to swim, and certificates of completion once a swimmer has “graduated” to the next level.
The fee is $40 per 30 min lesson.

You can then complete the payment online, similar to paying membership fees at the beginning of the season. Once you have paid for your lesson, you are good to go! Please note that payment must be received prior to the start of the lesson. Thank you!
