The Rice Aquatic Center conducts 30-minute private lessons for anyone 3 years of age, or older. This allows the instructor to personalize sessions to fit your individual needs as well as your schedule. All lessons are dependent on availability of the instructor and facilities. As our instructors are college students and we host aquatic events and facility reservations, we are limited by the schedules and availabilities of both our instructors and facilities.
It is our goal to process and begin all lessons as soon as possible without sacrificing the high quality service we strive to provide. In the event that an instructor is not immediately available, the swim lesson request forms are filed according to the date in which they were received, however Recreation Center members will be given priority over non-members. Once an instructor who has a schedule compatible with the requested lesson times becomes available, they will contact our applicants to set up a lesson schedule.
