Private Swim Lessons
Swimingo is expanding into Pembroke Pines, Florida with private one-on-one swim lessons taught at your own pool. A certified instructor drives to your address — Pembroke Falls, Chapel Trail, Silver Lakes, West Pines — and teaches in the water your family swims in every week. Every session is one instructor and one swimmer, from a two-year-old learning to be calm at the step to a parent finally learning properly. The lesson arrives at your house, so it fits the week you already have: no drive across the city, no lesson time lost to a rotation of eight other children.
Do you cover all of Pembroke Pines? It is a big city.
It is — nearly 35 square miles from the Turnpike out to US 27 — and the whole of it is in the planned service area. Pembroke Falls, Chapel Trail, Silver Lakes, West Pines and the older eastern neighborhoods are all included, and gated entries are routine: you add your instructor to the visitor list and the lesson runs like any other scheduled home appointment.
How much do private swim lessons cost in Pembroke Pines?
Published, not quoted. A 30-minute Splash Starter lesson for ages 1 to 5 is $54.99 USD. Learn to Swim is a 45-minute lesson for ages 5 to 17 at $69.99 USD. Adult Swim is a 45-minute lesson for ages 18 and up at $69.99 USD. All figures are US dollars, and the rate is identical whether the instructor is driving to Chapel Trail on the western edge or to a street near the Turnpike — the size of the city does not change the price. Booked as a package, ten lessons carry a 10% reduction on the single-lesson rate.
What ages do you teach in Pembroke Pines?
Toddlers through adults. Young children begin with water comfort, floating and safety habits at the pool edge; school-age kids and teens build strokes, stamina and technique; and adults are welcome at any starting point, first-timers very much included.
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.
Scale is the first thing to understand about this city. Pembroke Pines counted 171,178 residents at the 2020 census, making it the second most populous city in Broward County and the eleventh most populous in Florida, and it spreads across 34.76 square miles between the Florida Turnpike and US 27. It also runs its own charter school system — roughly 6,285 students across four elementary schools, three middle schools and one high school in 2025-26 — alongside Broward County schools such as Charles W. Flanagan High and West Broward High. Incorporated on January 16, 1960, the city did most of its growing after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which is why so much of it is late-century subdivision laid out around lakes and canals.
That size is the practical case for teaching at home. When your city is thirty-four square miles wide, a fixed weekly class is rarely close by: a fifteen-to-thirty-minute drive each way, twice a week, ending in a lane shared with several other children. A private lesson at your own pool deletes that calculation — the full session belongs to your swimmer, and dinner, homework and practice all still happen. Two children at two different levels can simply go back to back at the same pool.
Water is not incidental here, it is the landscape. The city's own Chapel Trail Nature Preserve is a 450-acre wetland with a 1,650-foot boardwalk running out over it, home to some 120 species of birds. Broward County's 299-acre C.B. Smith Park sits on North Flamingo Road with the Paradise Cove water park — four fifty-foot slides and a 410-foot lazy river. Add the canals and retention lakes threaded between the subdivisions and you get a childhood spent beside water from the start, which is the argument for making swimming a taught skill, not an assumed one.
Lessons meet each swimmer where they actually are. The youngest children work on entries, back floats and the wall — getting to it, holding it, turning around. School-age kids build freestyle and backstroke properly, teens work on endurance, and adults get unhurried instruction with nobody watching. And there is no season to wait for: a Pembroke Pines pool is as usable in January as in July, so a child who starts in the autumn keeps building through the winter. Start whenever it suits you — the water is already there.
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.
Pembroke Pines runs nearly 35 square miles from the Florida Turnpike out to US 27, with backyard pools, subdivision lakes, canals and the 450-acre Chapel Trail wetland along the way — a lot of water for one city's children to grow up beside.

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. Pembroke Pines runs nearly 35 square miles from the Turnpike to US 27, with backyard pools, subdivision lakes, canals and the 450-acre Chapel Trail wetland along the way — a lot of water for one city's children to grow up beside.
Yes. The county health department and the Children's Services Council fund SWIM Central coupons that help families with young children pay for lessons, in addition to Florida's state program. Those programs and private at-home lessons stack well rather than compete: a coupon is a good way to get a child started in the water, and one-on-one lessons at your own pool are how families add attention, pace, and a schedule they control.
Often, yes. Lessons happen at your pool, and in Pembroke Pines that frequently means a community or association pool rather than a backyard one — which works when the community permits guests and private instruction. Rules differ from association to association, so take a look at your community's guidelines and mention the situation when you reach out; we will help you work out what is possible.
Start over somewhere familiar, with nobody watching. In a group class a nervous child is coping with a strange pool, a crowd and the pressure of keeping up all at once; at home none of those are in the room. The first session can be as small as sitting on the step, and you are welcome to stay in sight for all of it.
That is the whole point of coming to you — there is no class timetable to build the week around, and no second drive across the city after pickup. Most families keep a recurring weekday slot at home and shift it when the season gets busy. To begin, send a note through our contact page with your neighborhood, your swimmer's age and what they can already do, and we will set up a first lesson at your pool.
