Teens Monday, Wednesday 7 - 7:45 p.m.
Adults Monday, Wednesday 7:45-8:30 p.m.
Mt. Hood Community College Aquatic Center offers private swim lessons. This program is intended to provide a service to individuals who may have needs beyond the scope of group swim lessons. These services may include working in a one-on-one environment, focusing on a specific set of skills, or accommodating needs that limit the student’s ability to participate in a group. Lessons are offered in 30-minute sessions. Prices are $60 per lesson per person. Please inquire at the front desk for registration information. All requests are booked by the aquatics coordinator and will be booked for multiple dates as instructor and pool availability allows.
Refund policy: Scheduled private lessons will not be rescheduled or refunded with less than 24-hour notice of cancellation.
Swimming Lesson Policies
Refunds or transfers will be given only to requests made three or more business days before the first class period. Two business days or fewer, or after the lesson session has started, only a 50% refund will be granted.
To provide better service, waiting lists are available for all children’s programs that have reached capacity. This list is used primarily as a courtesy for cancellations in existing classes. Adding classes in addition to those scheduled depends both on pool availability and on instructor availability.
Please note that classes may be combined with a compatible class or canceled if there are fewer than three children enrolled.
Frequently Asked Questions
If children have no experience with swim lessons and little to no experience with pools in general, children ages 3-6 years should enroll in Preschool 1 and children 6-12 years (first grade and up) should register for Learn-to-Swim (School Age) Level 1.
If your child has some experience but requires shallow water, then Preschool 2 or School Age 2 would be the class they need.
For children who have swim lesson experience at other facilities and you’re not sure which level to register for, we will do a swimming evaluation and then recommend a class. Please call the front desk at 503-491-7243 and request a swim lesson evaluation.
When you register your child for a lesson, check “yes” for the box that asks if your child requires accommodations or if your child has any health issues we should know about. You may also follow up with a phone call or email to us, so we can discuss your child’s specific needs in a group swim lesson setting before lessons begin. If group swim lessons are not a good match for your child, we will explore options with you.
Bring a swimsuit and a towel. Goggles are allowed and recommended for all levels except parent/child classes and Preschool 1. Please do not bring face masks to swim lessons, as they block the nose and make it more difficult for children to learn breathing patterns.
On the first day, the program coordinator and/or the program assistant will give a brief introduction to the lessons at the red barriers on the 25-yard deck. Check-in at the attendance books in the lobby, then change and shower. Instructors will take attendance at the barriers and then take the children to the pool. For all lessons in the session, the instructors will pick up and return children to the red barriers.
If a child is not in the appropriate class, the program coordinator or the program assistant will check with you about possibly transferring the child to a class that better suits their current skills. If the new class is not offered at the same time, we will attempt to find a day and time that works for you and transfer your child, as long as there is still availability in the class they need.
The 25-yard pool is 83-84 degrees and the Learner pool is 89-92 degrees.
Yes for any parent/child class and all classes held in the 25-yard pool. For Preschool 1 and 2, which are held in the Learner pool, we ask that parents/guardians limit watching on deck to the first and last day. The deck is quite small, so the children tend to focus intently on their parents or other family members and not focus as much on their instructor.
We do ask that you stay in the facility, preferably the bleachers for the 25-yard pool, for the duration of your child’s lesson.
Stay near your child on the pool deck and remain positive. If you can get them to at least sit with the class and observe, it will give them time to get used to the idea. This is often more about the new situation than it is about liking or disliking the water. It can take a few days for some children to get used to the idea of participating in group swim lessons.
The American Red Cross emphasizes safety in, on and around all bodies of water. By introducing or reinforcing safety topics in short periods of time at each class, children are more likely to retain the information.
You are welcome to request a specific instructor or check with the program coordinator or program assistant to see if the instructor assignments are done for the next session. It is not always possible to have the same instructor for your child. Please keep in mind that children often benefit by experiencing a variety of teaching styles.
The instructors often have little time between classes. You are welcome to ask a quick question between classes, but please understand that they are required to start their next class as soon as possible. If you have a more detailed question, please ask the program coordinator or the program assistant. You may also leave messages at the front desk.
Children will progress at different rates and will often plateau at certain levels for a period of time. Our primary goal in placing children in certain levels is that they have ample opportunity to practice the skills they need. Swimming is learned by repetition, and children will master the skills at different rates. It is normal for children to repeat some levels as many as four or five times. It just means they need the practice time to master the skills.
Open recreation swims are a good way to have your child practice what they have learned. This can make a difference in how they proceed through the swim levels.
If you need to withdraw from lessons, you will receive full credit on account if you request it three or more business days before the lesson session begins. Once the session has started, you will receive partial credit. If there is a medical reason for withdrawing from lessons, please contact the program coordinator, program assistant, or aquatics manager.
Classes may be combined with compatible classes or canceled if fewer than three children are enrolled. This helps to prevent classes from being canceled. The instructors continue to work with each child at his/her level or pace.
If your child’s class is canceled after the session starts, and we cannot find another suitable class to transfer, we will give you a full refund back to your method of payment.
