swimming lessons

Pool training sessions

Swimming lessons are instruction in how to swim, typically given to children or beginners by a trained instructor at a pool or other body of water.

The lessons progress through basic skills like floating and kicking to more advanced strokes and water safety techniques.

My parents signed me up for swimming lessons every summer.

Adults sometimes take swimming lessons too, either to overcome fear of water or to improve their technique.
