Swimming lessons (new system!)
Youth swim lessons are available with individualized coaching from handpicked LBC lifeguards.
When and where
Lessons can be scheduled Monday through Thursday between 9:30 AM am and 12 PM and sold in 30-minute increments. Lessons run from June 15th - September 4th.
Payment, cancellations, reschedules
Lessons are $60/hr and are sold in 30-minute increments. Payment for lessons must be made at the guard shack before or during the lesson. There are no refunds for cancellations of swim lessons, especially due to weather (if its cold outside… invest in a wetsuit!). Lessons can be rescheduled if more than 48 hours notice is given to the instructor, at their discretion.
2:1 Lessons are available to similarly skilled swimmers at the discretion of the instructor for $90/hr.
Scheduling lessons

Hi! My name is Caroline, and this is my third summer working at the LBC. I grew up swimming on swim team and spent most of my summer days at the beach club, so swimming has always been something I enjoy. I like working with swimmers of all ages, but feel especially confident teaching ages 7-10.
