About
🍁🍂Fall Adult Swim Lessons — Learn a Life Skill That Lasts! Hi! Certified Water Safety Instructor (WSI), Lifeguard, and CPR/AED certified professional with years of experience teaching swimming in both pools and beach settings. I specialize in working with adults and children helping you build confidence and getting you moving in the water doing a lot of repetition on survival mode, which is swimming on the back along with freestyle and breaststroke etc. Adults come to swim thinking "I can’t do that” or “I’m not coordinated.” I quickly turn those doubts into “I will be great at this!” My goal is for every adult/child to leave each lesson feeling confident and with the best experience. Ideal for: ✔ Adults learning to swim for safety, fitness, triathlons, or vacations ✔ Beginners of all ages looking to gain confidence and skill in the water Class Locations & Schedule: 📍 Maryland & Washington DC (inside the Beltway) – Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday 📍 Springfield, VA & surrounding areas – Tuesday and Thursday 💦 Private Lessons at Home Pools: $175 ⭐ Grandfathered rates available for returning guests for Spring/Summer 2025 ***Please take into consideration- I maintain a strict 24-hour notification cancellation and no-show policy to ensure all guest have the same opportunity to receive the highest quality of personal attention and care durning their swim session. In the case of late cancel or no-shows a $65 Fee will be charged. Best, Dana Lapierre 💦

Dana is the perfect swim instructor for me. I’ve been putting off taking private lessons for a long time and after every lesson I wonder why it took me so long. Dana is patient, reassuring, kind, and I never feel judged if I struggle with something. And on top of all that she somehow makes the process fun. If you’re thinking of learning to swim as an adult, stop putting it off, I highly recommend Dana!

Dana is a great instructor. She diagnoses problem areas quickly and creates a training plan. She doesn’t try to oversell lessons. She is patient and very clear when explaining proper technique.

10 out of 10 recommend! Dana was amazing! She responded quickly, super easy to work with, and made scheduling a breeze. My daughter had a fantastic time and picked up skills so much faster than she ever did at the big swim schools. Dana made her feel safe and confident in the water, and we’ve already signed up for another month. Highly recommend her one-on-one lessons. So valuable.

The best swim instructor I’ve ever worked with and very thorough! I’ve learned so much in the few sessions I’ve had and gotten so much better in such a short time! The confidence that is instilled by my instructor only helps with my sessions! Highly recommended! A+++++
