The fitness facility setting provides a controlled environment that works well for swimmers of all ages, with consistent water temperature and pool conditions that support effective learning.
How much do swim classes cost?
Pricing varies by program type and lesson frequency. Contact us at 202-656-8423 for current rates and package options that fit your budget.
Our ISR program follows an intensive daily lesson format, which reflects the specialized nature of survival skill training. This concentrated approach is designed to build muscle memory and survival skills effectively during the optimal learning window for young children.
Learn-to-Swim programs offer scheduling flexibility with options for weekly lessons, bi-weekly sessions, or more frequent instruction depending on your goals and availability.
The pricing reflects the high-quality individualized instruction and the facilities available at LA Fitness Silver Spring. Our 1-to-1 instruction format ensures you receive personalized attention and customized lesson plans that focus on your specific needs and learning objectives.
Do you offer beginner-friendly swim classes?
Yes, we specialize in working with beginners of all ages and comfort levels at LA Fitness Silver Spring. Whether you’re introducing a 6-month-old to water for the first time or you’re an adult who never learned to swim, we have beginner-friendly programs designed to build water confidence.
Our approach recognizes that every beginner has a unique starting point and different comfort levels around water. Some students are simply new to formal instruction, while others may have water anxiety or previous negative experiences. Our certified instructors are trained to work with all types of beginners, adapting their teaching methods to match individual needs and learning styles.
For our youngest beginners, the ISR program introduces babies and toddlers to water in a gentle, systematic way that builds survival skills while maintaining comfort and safety. Our instructors understand infant and toddler development and use age-appropriate techniques to help young children feel secure in the water.
Adult beginners receive patient instruction that addresses common concerns like breathing coordination, floating techniques, and stroke fundamentals. We understand that learning to swim as an adult can feel vulnerable, so our instructors create supportive environments where adults can learn without feeling rushed or embarrassed.
Our 1-to-1 instruction format is particularly beneficial for beginners because it eliminates comparison with other students and allows for completely personalized pacing. Students can ask questions freely, repeat skills as needed, and progress at their own comfortable rate without any pressure.
The fitness facility pool environment provides consistent conditions that help nervous beginners feel more secure as they develop their water skills.
Are personalized swim lessons available at your LA Fitness Silver Spring location?
Yes, all our lessons are 1-to-1 instruction, ensuring personalized attention and faster progress for every swimmer. This individualized approach is fundamental to our teaching philosophy and takes full advantage of the facility’s pool environment.
Our 1-to-1 lessons offer significant advantages for learning effectiveness and safety, allowing our certified instructors to focus entirely on your specific needs and adjust teaching methods, pace, and activities to match your unique learning style. With individualized instruction, there’s no waiting for turns, no pressure to keep up with other students, and no distractions.
For our ISR program, personalized instruction is essential because we’re teaching critical survival skills that require constant assessment and immediate response to each child’s reactions. Individual attention ensures proper technique development and maintains safety throughout the learning process.
In Learn-to-Swim programs, personalized lessons allow instructors to identify and address specific challenges quickly, whether it’s breathing coordination, stroke mechanics, or building water confidence. Students receive immediate feedback and can work on problem areas without feeling self-conscious about their progress.
Our instructors customize lesson plans based on each swimmer’s goals and learning style. Whether you want to learn basic water safety, develop competitive strokes, or overcome water fears, the 1-to-1 format allows for completely personalized curriculum and pacing.
The fitness facility setting provides a focused environment where instructors can concentrate entirely on each swimmer’s individual development without the distractions common in busier facilities.
What should we bring to swim classes?
Just bring a swimsuit, towel, and any personal goggles your swimmer prefers. We provide all other necessary equipment.
Pro Tip: Make sure the swimsuit fits well
For our ISR program, we sometimes have kids practice swimming in regular clothes to simulate what would happen if they fell in wearing their everyday outfit. We’ll give you advance notice when that’s needed, so you can bring an extra set of clothes.
How long does it take to learn to swim?
This is one of the most common questions we receive, and the truth is that it varies by program, experience, your starting point, and the frequency of your lessons.
For our ISR students (ages 6 months to 4 years), we usually see them master their survival skills in about 5-7 weeks with daily lessons. That might sound fast, but remember, we’re talking about specific skills like floating and rolling over, not swimming laps. An 18-month-old learning to float is different from a 6 month old learning to float.
With Learn-to-Swim (ages 4 through adult), kids may go from scared to swimming across the pool in a couple of months. Some students take longer to feel truly comfortable. Adults might take longer initially because they have more fears to work through, but once they get it, they really get it.
Most people are surprised by how quickly they start seeing progress though. Usually within the first few weeks, there’s some kind of breakthrough— maybe finally putting their face in the water, or floating for the first time, or swimming a few strokes without panic.
The biggest indicator of progress is consistency. Regular attendance can make a huge difference in your ability to accelerate progress.
What safety measures do you follow?
Safety is our top priority. Every instructor is CPR and water safety certified – that’s non-negotiable. Our ISR instructors get additional training because working with babies and toddlers requires different skills.
The one-on-one format is actually a huge safety advantage. When an instructor is working with just one student, they can watch for any signs of fatigue, stress, or discomfort that might get missed in a group setting. They know exactly where their student is at all times and can respond immediately if something doesn’t look right.
We conduct constant assessments throughout lessons – essentially checking in on how each swimmer is performing physically and emotionally. If someone seems tired, we adjust the lesson. If they’re having a rough day, we slow down. If they’re pushing too hard, we pull back.
The facility itself has all the standard safety features – proper depth markings, non-slip surfaces, good lighting. We work with the LA Fitness Silver Spring to make sure pool conditions are always optimal for safe swimming.
But here’s what really matters— safety is the foundation of everything we teach. Students learn
