      This is for a private swim lesson registration.  The cost is $130 for initial registration and four (4) private lessons.  After the initial four (4) lessons each registrant is open to working directly with the instructor to schedule further lessons.  You will be given a new instructor if you re-register for additional private lessons online.   If you like your instructor, please work with them to schedule and pay them directly for additional private lessons.

      Since most of our instructors are in school, we will begin placing instructors with swimmers after May 19th.  If you are looking for private instruction in May, please email manager@cranbrookswimclub.com. 

      Most lessons will begin the week of Jun 16th (when school is out).  Please let us know your availability when school is out of session.  Due to the club schedule, we will only allow a few lessons during our "open" hours of 11am to 9pm.  Most lessons will be scheduled between 8am-11am Monday through Saturday.  


      Due to many instructors leaving for college and high school sports in August, this registration portal closes July 14 in order for us to schedule 4 lessons with an instructor.  Lessons may be available, but not typically.  Please email manager@cranbrookswimclub.com for availability after July 14th. 

      There is an additional charge for non-member children.

      Group Swim Lessons

       ~3- 5 swimmers in each group per instructor.

      Group Swim Lessons for Cranbrook Swim Club are for ages 2.5 to 12 years old.  (ages 13 to adult should register for private lessons). We work with kids with all ability and comfort levels. We have many instructors with a variety of experiences.  Some are USA Swim Coaches, some are teachers, some have been competitive swimmers, and many have been teaching for years.  Kids will be grouped with an instructor based on experience and learning needs.  Because days and times can vary for everyone, you may have a few different instructors.  

      Lessons may be cancelled for thunderstorms or pool issues (make ups will be the immediate Friday after).  Should you need to cancel, We will need notice the day before your lesson so that we may reschedule with an available instructor.  Because these are not private lessons, the admin team will need to process the rescheduling.
