Eichler is excited to offer 30-minute small group swim lessons during Summer 2025! With a targeted coaching ratio of 1:3, these sessions give young swimmers the opportunity to have fun in the water, while learning valuable swim development skills.

From beginners learning to be comfortable in the water, to those learning to swim and improving strokes, our skilled instructors will provide in the water, personalized instruction.

Coaches recommend signing up for one or more days to fit your schedule. The more practice students have, the more patterns are reinforced, and the quicker results are reflected. Group lessons are purchased in three week sessions on the same day of the week, allowing swimmers to have consistent instruction over several weeks. Pick day(s) of the week that work best for your family’s schedule for each session. A session cost $75 ($25 x 3 classes) for members and $105 ($35 x 3 classes) for waitlist members.

Summer group lessons will be led by Robert Peck, Gators co-head coach and Helen Piekos, Eichler swim instructor, with help from assistant coaches. With respect for the coaching staff, refunds and cancellations are not available for Group Lessons.

You will need to complete one form for each child.

Waitlist members must complete the Eichler 2025 Guest Waiver before the first lesson.

Lesson Levels

Beginner (Hatchlings)
This level is for swimmers who are not yet comfortable in the water, have little or no swimming experience and may be afraid of the water. The focus of this level is to help swimmers get comfortable with their faces in the water, relax on their backs and begin learning arm movements. Swimmers as young as 3 or 4 can participate in this group.

Intermediate (Breathers)
This developmental group is for swimmers who can do arm strokes, but are not yet able to breath independently and get air without stopping. Students learn to relax and float in a comfortable position with an instructor. Emphasis is on developing movement patterns for independent breathing while having controlled and efficient force with strokes.

Advanced (Gators)
The advanced swimmer can swim freestyle with good breathing, and is able to float independently on their back. Students focus on improving skill and learning back, breast and butterfly, while mastering basic stroke patterns involved with all four competitive strokes. Other skills such as racing starts and turns will also be developed.
