Private & semi‑private swimming lessons in Mississauga

$39.99 + HST per 30-minute semi-private lesson (1 instructor, 2 swimmers) or $64.99 + HST private (1 instructor, 1 swimmer), at 5100 Satellite Drive near Dixie & Eglinton. One 11-week season at 1 lesson per week is $439.89 + HST semi-private. You pay $0 when you book and try your first lesson risk-free, and there are no registration fees.

The pool is indoors and heated, at 5100 Satellite Drive, Mississauga L4W 5A1, off Eglinton Ave near Hwy 401 and 427, about 5 minutes from Etobicoke. Parking is free in the lot on site; come in through the main lobby. Parents watch from deck seating beside the pool.

Yes. You can join the Winter Season in any week while weekly times are open, and you pay only for the lessons left in your weekly time. Real open times are on the booking page before you create an account.

Your instructor meets you on deck, does a short in-water check of what your swimmer can already do, and starts the first skill in that same lesson. You pay $0 when you book it. If it isn’t right for you, cancel within 24 hours after it and pay nothing.

Ages 2 and up, in three groups: toddlers 2–5, kids and teens 6–15, and adults 16+ (including adult beginners who are nervous in the water). Every lesson is private (one swimmer) or semi-private (two swimmers from the same group), so the plan is built around the person in the water, not a class. Adults are never paired with children.

Winter Season lessons run Sunday 12:00 – 4:00 PM and Monday to Thursday 5:30 – 8:30 PM (no lessons December 20 to 26, the holiday break). The season is 11 weeks; you pick 1, 2 or 3 weekly times and keep them for the whole season, same day, same time, same instructor. Real open times are shown on the booking page before you create an account.

No. You pay $0 when you book. Love it? Your season is charged 24 hours after your first lesson, by card or in 4 Klarna payments. Not for you? Cancel before then and pay nothing. If you continue, your 11-week season at 1 lesson per week is $439.89 + HST semi-private or $714.89 + HST private. The 24 hours start once every weekly time you booked has had its first lesson, and a missed first lesson still counts. We text you the exact charge time. For swimmers new to Apex. Swimmers coming back enroll for the season (pay once or in 4 with Klarna) and can use their make-up tokens. Families who paid for the season in full keep their money-back guarantee.

Your first weekly time is full price. Every weekly time you add after that, a 2nd lesson per week for the same swimmer, or a sibling, partner or friend joining with their own time, gets its first lesson free. That is $45.19 off per extra time for semi-private, or $73.44 for private, HST included. Two swimmers at 2 lessons per week saves three lessons; three swimmers at 3 lessons per week saves eight ($361.51). Add-on times need 4 or more lessons. Using make-up tokens too? A weekly time gets at most 2 free lessons in total, so a weekly time that already has its first lesson free can use 1 token. Two swimmers sharing one semi-private time (siblings, partners or friends) pay the semi-private price each, and the second swimmer's first lesson is free.

Your choice. Register in an open weekly time with a sibling, friend or family member and share it. If you enroll on your own, we match your swimmer with one other swimmer from the same age group, toddlers 2–5, kids and teens 6–15, adults 16+. Adults are never paired with children.

Life happens, and we understand. Because your weekly time is reserved for your swimmer all season, a lesson you miss or cancel can't be refunded, but you never lose it. Every weekly time comes with both: up to 3 private 30-minute catch-up sessions to catch it up this season ($29.99 + HST each), and 2 free make-up tokens for your next enrollment. If we ever have to cancel a lesson (no instructor available to cover, or the pool is closed), your season is extended by a week so you still get every lesson you paid for.

11 to 22 lessons (one Winter season at 1 or 2 lessons per week). In that range, toddlers put their face in, swim to the wall and climb out on their own; kids and teens get past the fear of deep water and become safe, independent swimmers in the shallow or deep end; adults get over the fear of deep water, float, and swim on their own in the shallow or deep end. Our guarantee: independent swimming in 11 to 22 lessons. Come to every lesson of your season (or catch up any you miss with a catch-up session), and if your swimmer can’t swim independently by the end of it, your next season is free, with the same number of lessons per week. ‘Independent swimming’ means moving through the water on your own, feet off the floor, without holding on to anything and without any flotation help. By the end of the season: toddlers swim back to the wall and climb out on their own, roll from back to tummy and swim to the wall, and jump in, swim back and climb out; kids and teens swim 10 to 20 metres on their own and tread water for 15 to 30 seconds; adults swim 20 to 30 metres on their own and tread water for 20 seconds to 1 minute. The exact target in each range is set for each swimmer at their first lesson. Full details: apexswimmers.com/guarantee/

We start with your goal and assign the swims that reach it, from our 5 swims: front crawl (freestyle), backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and treading water. Most kids and toddlers start with front crawl and treading water; adults with front crawl or breaststroke, plus treading water. Each swim is taught one skill at a time, graded every lesson, and you can see it all on the Progress page in your client portal. Details: apexswimmers.com/curriculum/

No registration fees. No auto-renewal. You book one season at a time. Sunday afternoons and weekday 6–7 PM fill up first. Once a weekly time is taken it is gone for the season, so book yours early.

No, your instructor is in the water with your child for the whole lesson, and you watch from the deck seating a few metres away. For a nervous 2- or 3-year-old you are welcome to sit right at the pool edge.
