Private Swim Lessons
Swimingo brings private one-on-one swim lessons to Davie, Florida. A certified instructor comes to your own pool — at a ranch home in Long Lake Ranches, a family street in Forest Ridge or Shenandoah, or anywhere across Davie's equestrian districts. All ages and skill levels are welcome, with lesson times that work around school, barn schedules, and South Florida summers.
Do you cover all of Davie, including the ranch areas?
Yes. Davie is in our Florida service area — Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, Shenandoah, and the equestrian districts included. If you have a pool on your property, your instructor comes to it.
How much do private swim lessons cost in Davie?
No quote request needed — the numbers are right here. Splash Starter (ages 1 to 5) is a 30-minute lesson at $54.99 USD. Learn to Swim (ages 5 to 17) and Adult Swim (ages 18 and up) are both 45 minutes at $69.99 USD. The rate is the same across Davie, whether the instructor is driving out to Long Lake Ranches or a family street in Forest Ridge, and because lessons are one-on-one at your pool there is no time lost to group rotations or pool-deck waiting. Booking a package of 10 lessons takes 10% off the single-lesson rate.
Is drowning really a serious risk for young kids in Broward County?
Yes. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 in Broward County, according to the Florida Department of Health in Broward County. On Davie's large properties — with pools, canals, and ponds — early water-safety skills matter even more.
You should not have to request a quote to find out what a swim lesson costs. These are our Florida rates, published in full, in US dollars — no form to fill in and no sales call first.
Each price is for one private lesson of the length shown — one instructor, one swimmer, at your pool.
Davie is not like the rest of Broward, and Davie families know it. This is a town of large lots, horse trails, and neighborhoods that feel closer to the countryside than to the coast — Long Lake Ranches and the equestrian districts especially, where properties are measured in acres and almost every home has its own pool. Forest Ridge and Shenandoah bring the established family streets, and with Nova Southeastern University in town there is a steady mix of young families, students, and long-time residents. It is a big town with a small-town character, and it is spread out — which makes driving across Broward for a 30-minute group swim class an even worse trade than usual.
At-home lessons fit how Davie actually lives. On a large property, the pool is part of daily life year-round, and kids are around water constantly — so they need real swim skills early. The instructor comes to your gate, the lesson happens in your own pool, and the one-on-one format means a nervous first-timer or a stroke-polishing teen gets the instructor's full attention. No trailering the kids across town after you have already done the school run and the barn run.
We teach every stage: toddlers learning to be safe around the backyard pool, school-age kids getting camp-ready, teens refining strokes, and adults who want to finally swim properly — including riders who spend their lives around canals and water crossings. Beginners get patient, step-by-step coaching. Confident swimmers push technique and endurance. Every lesson is one-on-one.
Davie's daily life runs on its own clock. Mornings might mean feeding horses before school in the equestrian districts, weekends bring the rodeo grounds and Old Davie's western downtown to life, and Flamingo Gardens draws families from across the county. A fixed weekly slot at a distant facility rarely survives that kind of schedule. At-home lessons do: the instructor arrives at your property, the lesson happens while dinner is on the stove, and nobody spends an hour on University Drive for thirty minutes of pool time.
And in Davie, water is everywhere even when the beach is not: backyard pools, canals along the property lines, retention ponds behind the fences. That is the honest reason swim skills matter here year-round. South Florida pools stay open twelve months, so a swimmer who starts this fall does not lose the skill over winter — they build on it. Lessons follow your calendar, not a session cycle.
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 in Broward County — not just statewide — and the county reports that the majority of drownings happen when a child is left unsupervised. Across Florida, more than 500 people died from unintentional drowning in 2023.
Broward County takes this seriously: the county health department, the Children's Services Council and Broward's SWIM Central program together offer coupons that help families with young children cover the cost of swim lessons. Whether your family uses a county program, private lessons, or both, the goal is the same — children who are safe and confident in the water they live around.
Davie gives that a local shape: on properties measured in acres, where almost every home has its own pool and the equestrian districts are threaded with canals and water crossings, the water is part of the property rather than a trip out.
Swimingo also serves other Broward County communities. From Davie, explore private swim lessons in Weston, private swim lessons in Cooper City, private swim lessons in Fort Lauderdale.
Yes. Broward's SWIM Central program, run with the Children's Services Council, offers coupons that offset the cost of lessons for young children, in addition to Florida's state program. Many families pair a program like that with private at-home lessons for one-on-one attention and faster progress in their own pool.
All of them — toddlers starting water safety, school-age kids building strokes, teens training technique, and adults learning for the first time or getting back in the water.
Very. You pick times that fit around school, sports, and barn schedules, and the instructor comes to you. There is no fixed group-class calendar to plan your week around.
Usually, yes. One-on-one lessons in your own pool remove the noise, the crowd, and the pressure of keeping up with other kids. The instructor works at your child's pace, with no pressure to keep up with anyone else.
