Tiffany Harmon’s Seahorse Swim Academy: Private lessons exclusively offered with Tiffany Harmon. Owner of Seahorse Swim School, Inc, Tiffany Harmon teaches all lessons at this private, calm and serene location in Aptos. The newly renovated pool has a 2 1/2 foot teaching platform, a 4 ft shallow water section going to 7 ft at the deepest end. A “Jumping board” for good old fashion jumping in from an elevation. Fun sparkly irridesent aquatic animal tiles at the bottom of the pool delight the child’s mind! This serene setting allows for instruction with little to no distractions. Seahorse Swim Academy operates May through September and is for children ages 3 and up (and potty trained). Beginning adults and teens will learn without anyone watching!! Group lessons are NOT offered at Tiffany’s Seahorse Swim Academy. Lessons are predetermined to be 25 mins in length, if you would like a longer lesson, let us know and we can see how to work that into the schedule. Priority booking for those who book 8 lessons in a series with the same lesson time each week. Flexible scheduling is available too. Requests can be made on our SWIM LESSON INTEREST form or by email seahorseswimmers@gmail.com.
Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons (all ages, levels and abilities)
For adults and children of all ages, levels and abilities out of all of our locations. Private lessons are perfect for those children who are easily distracted in a group setting, for those who are “stuck” at a particular level or for those who are preparing for an event (Jr. Guards, Little Guards, swim tests of all kinds, etc.). Call our SWIM line directly to discuss your needs and to schedule your appointment.
Adult Swim Lessons
We find that most adults prefer to start in private lessons; getting the attention needed based on the goals that are set for the individual. Fantastic progress is made in just one lesson! We will create a group adult lesson when we get enough interest. Adult group lessons will be offered at Elks, when enough interest is formed. Private lessons for adults available at both locations and by appointment.
POD of 3 or 4 Swim Lessons
Made of your friends/family in the lesson. Great for families and friends working to accomplish similar goals and at or near the same skill level. Custom classes can be catered to your goals, needs and specific timelines. Custom scheduling is available for the POD of 3, 4 or more. 4 or more gets group rate.
