Welcome to Ms Rachelle’s Swim School at my home!

I offer private swim lessons for those in the Saint Louis area. I am a certified Water Safety Instructor and have been teaching swim lessons for over 25 years. I developed my own program to help swimmers learn quickly and effectively. I recommend beginning lessons from the age of two or even earlier. I focus on swimmers learning how to save themselves first and foremost, and then progressing to learning all four strokes. Please watch the videos below to get an idea of my teaching methods and see some of these amazing swimmers!

Location: All swim lessons take place in my backyard pool in University Hills. 7396 Bedford Ave. University City

Lessons: I offer 30, 60 and 90 minute private swim lessons, which you can schedule below. Families having swim lessons on the same day can split a longer time slot .

Payment: When you schedule, you will have a choice to pay either the full amount or a 50% deposit. If you choose to pay the 50%, you will be charged the remaining balance after the lesson.

Canceling/Rescheduling: If you need to cancel or reschedule, you can do so yourself on the website without any additional charge. (As long as you do it the day before your lesson.) If you try and cancel less than 12 hours before your scheduled lesson, the system will not let you do so and you will need to contact me to do it for you. (otherwise your deposit will be kept) I will try to accommodate you. If you’ve paid in full, then you will be refunded half of the paid amount.

Weather: We will communicate the morning of the lesson if the weather looks like it’s not going to cooperate. I try not to cancel lessons for light drizzle as long as it’s warm, but we will definitely reschedule or refund for thunderstorms!

Questions: Please email or call me 310-709-8709 if you have any questions, especially if this is your first swim lesson with me so that we can chat about my approach and any relevant background information regarding you or your child.
