Group Fitness Passes & Instructional Classes

Personal Training

Our Personal Training program is designed for participants of all levels. Personal Training offers participants the opportunity to work with one of our certified personal trainers who will provide customized guidance and instruction to help you achieve your physical fitness and wellness goals. 

Participants can choose from a variety of packages including:

  • 1 on 1 Personal Training
  • Partner/Buddy Training 

Swim Lessons

Currently, due to high demand and temporary staffing shortages, we are not accepting any new clients for swim lessons. Please check back soon for updates and additional information.

PWG offers adult beginner swim lessons as well as stroke technique/improvement lessons for both adults and children (ages 5 and up). We do not offer learn to swim programs for children who cannot swim.

Swim Lessons are available for PWG Members. Non-Members may complete the interest form below and must enroll in a PWG Membership before their first scheduled session. 

Types of Lessons

Adult Beginner Lessons 

Designed for adults with limited to no swimming experience. Lessons will teach the fundamentals of swimming - including floatation, treading water, and basic strokes. 

Stroke Technique/Improvement Lessons

Designed for adults and children (ages 5 and up) who can swim and are seeking to improve their strokes and mechanics. Individuals must be able to swim 25 yards and tread water for one minute, unassisted.

Session Information & Fees

All sessions are 1 on 1 with the instructor and will be scheduled at the convenience of both the instructor and participant. 

All sessions last approximately 45 minutes, with at least 30 minutes of in-water instruction. Sessions will typically be scheduled within weekend Recreational Lap Swim Hours. Weekday sessions may be available on a case-by-case basis, based upon demand for space during weekday Recreational Lap Swim. 

The initial session will be a basic assessment of the swimmer’s skills and abilities. 

  Fee
1 Session $30/session
3 Session Package $84
($28/session)
5 Session Package $130
($26/session)

Field Shuttle Buses

Shuttle service for intramural and club sports has been suspended until the Fall 2023 academic year.
