Private Lessons and Adaptive Aquatics
PRIVATE LESSONS
For Ages 3 and Up
Private swimming lessons are the fastest way to make progress —whether you're a child, teen, or adult. Easyswim’s personalised lessons help swimmers of all ages build water confidence, overcome fear, improve technique, and learn essential water safety skills.
Our experienced instructors tailor each session to the swimmer’s individual goals and needs. From first-time toddlers to teens refining their stroke, or adults returning to the water after years, we support your journey at your pace.
Private lessons are available during term time and school holidays for ages 3 and up.
We aim to hold lessons in calm, low-distraction pools across Johnsonville, Tawa, and other selected locations.

ADAPTIVE AQUATICS
For All Ages
At Easyswim, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe and confident in the water. If your child has a diagnosed condition, genetic disorder, medical need, or high support needs that make it challenging to join group swimming classes, we offer private adapted swimming lessons at a reduced rate.
Our adapted pathway begins with personalised one-on-one lessons, run at our Johnsonville and Tawa School Pools. These sessions are carefully tailored to suit the unique needs and abilities of each swimmer. We start with water safety and personal survival skills, then introduce adapted swimming strokes as your child progresses.
If your goal is for your child to transition into mainstream group lessons, we will support that journey with proven integration strategies—ensuring it is safe, inclusive, and appropriate for all involved.
Please note: Spaces in this programme are strictly limited and medical documentation is required to apply.
