Not all swim lesson programs are created equal. Your swim lessons should reflect what works for you—not a one-size-fits-all approach. If flexibility, personalized instruction, and a calm learning space matter to you, here’s how we stand apart.
Why does choosing the right instructor matter?
Here, you’re in charge. Pick the instructor who aligns with your goals, personality, or experience preferences. Unlike other programs that assign instructors at random, you get to work with someone who’s truly the right fit. Not sure how to pick the right instructor? Learn how in this article.
How many lessons do I need to book?
When it comes to swimming, the number of lessons required to learn even the basics is different for everyone. Some people are naturally more comfortable in the water and are therefore able to relax and learn faster than others while some people have an easier time floating or moving through the water because of their body type.
The best way to improve learning outcomes, regardless of your natural affinity for swimming, is to practice often. Students who receive swimming lessons once a week typically see a dramatic increase in their skill retention when they find the time to practice at least one other time in the week.
It's actually one of the many reasons we decided to build Propel. We wanted to give learning swimmers the flexibility to take as many lessons as they need instead of being locked into an 8-10-week program with other learning swimmers. You can book weekly as you go or you can book as far advanced as you'd like, as long as the instructor has availability.
What if my schedule changes?
With Propel, you’re never locked into a long-term set. Book lessons at your pace and on your terms, whether it’s one session a week or multiple sessions to fast-track your progress. If you need to cancel a lesson, all you have to do is log into your account and click cancel!
What’s the best environment for learning?
Propel lessons often take place in private or semi-private pools, creating a calm and focused space for learning—no crowded decks or noisy public spaces to distract you.
How does one-on-one attention make a difference?
One-on-one lessons mean your instructor is fully focused on you. Propel’s personalized approach helps you build confidence and progress faster than in group settings. An hour of pool and instructor access gives you plenty of time to get real-time feedback so you don’t waste time forming bad habits.
