How it works
Three steps to the first splash.
1
Tell us about your swimmers
ZIP code, ages, comfort level and lesson length. About two minutes, no card.
2
Meet your instructor
An instructor who serves Lake Highlands accepts, and you get their profile. Not the right fit? Request a new instructor, up to 2 times per package.
3
Confirm and swim
Pick a start date, pay your invoice, and meet at your pool. Weekly payment plans are available on packages.
What a lesson looks like
Built around your swimmer.
30 minutes to 2 hours
Choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes or 2 hours, plus Mommy & Me for a parent swimming with a little one. Packages of 6 and 12 lower the per-lesson rate.
Six months to adults
Babies get water comfort with a parent. Preschoolers learn to float, kick and breathe. Older kids build strokes, and teens work on technique and endurance.
A pool your family arranges
Your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool. InstaSwim does not provide pools, and any pool fees go to the pool, not InstaSwim.
No pool yet? You can still book.
Not every family has a pool at home, and that is fine. When the booking app asks about a pool, choose No or Not sure yet, then pick a plan. InstaSwim does not own pools, and any pool fees are paid to the pool, not to InstaSwim.

Floating, kicking, breath control and getting back to the wall. Short, playful lessons that build confidence first.
Ages 7 to 12
Stroke building
Freestyle and backstroke take shape, then breaststroke and treading water, with endurance built lap by lap.
Teens
Technique and endurance
Teens can use fall and early winter lessons to sharpen strokes and build fitness ahead of the UIL district, regional and state meets.
Closer to home
Your building. Your pool. Your schedule.
Instructors on the Lake Highlands roster travel to building pools, condo and HOA pools, and backyard pools across Dallas County and the towns around it. You and your instructor settle the spot, inside their travel radius.

How kids come up here
The places Lake Highlands swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent close
The youngest swimmers in Lake Highlands start with short, playful sessions in a home or neighborhood pool. A parent stays in the water or at the edge while an instructor works on floating, kicking, blowing bubbles and getting comfortable with water on the face, at a pace that fits a toddler.
- 2Grade school
Summer strokes close to home
Grade schoolers here spend summer days at HOA and backyard pools, and some families head up to Richardson's Heights Family Aquatic Center or its neighborhood pools for open swim. Private lessons at a pool your family arranges build freestyle, backstroke and breathing so those summer afternoons feel easier.
- 3Teens
Swim team and stronger technique
Teens in Lake Highlands often want to join a summer league or swim team, or try a junior lifeguard program. One on one time with an instructor at a home or community pool can clean up turns, breathing and stroke timing before tryouts or the first practice.
- 4High school
Getting ready for UIL season
High school swimming in Texas runs through the UIL, with district, regional and state meets in the winter. State meets are held at the Josh Davis Natatorium in San Antonio for 4A and below and at the Texas A&M Natatorium for 5A and 6A. Off season work keeps swimmers sharp.
Where private lessons fit
How families in and around Lake Highlands use an independent instructor.
When families book
Lake Highlands families start reaching out in April, ahead of the warm months, and bookings stay busy through May, June and July. The instructor comes to the home, condo or HOA pool your family arranges.
Pools families use

Water to know about
White Rock Lake is close by but closed to swimming by city code, and Lavon Lake in southeast Collin County has unsupervised swim beaches. Lessons build skills and comfort but do not make anyone safe around water, so an adult watches every swimmer.

Coach Nathan is amazing! My girls feel so comfortable with him. They have made amazing progress just after 2 lessons. My youngest went from being after to put her head under water and is now giggling and happy when she does it. I definitely recommend doing lesson with Coach Nathan

We’re glad we found Nate! Nate adjusts his approach to my 5year old’s silliness. The classes are playful while also skill building. My son looks forward to his classes with Coach Nate! Nate also communicates timely and effectively. What else would you want?

30Questions parents ask
Good questions. Straight answers.
Pricing and billing details are on the pricing page.
Talk to the InstaSwim teamCan I pick my instructor?
InstaSwim matches you with an independent instructor based on your location and each swimmer's age and comfort level. You see the instructor's profile before you pay, and you can request a new instructor up to 2 times per package.
Do we need our own pool in Lake Highlands?
Lessons happen at a pool your family arranges: your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool. InstaSwim does not own or provide pools. Any pool fees are paid to the pool, not to InstaSwim.
Can a private swim instructor come to our home or building pool in Lake Highlands?
Yes, when the pool allows it. For a building, condo or HOA pool, check the pool rules for guests and instructors first, then set the day and time with your instructor. InstaSwim does not arrange pool access.
Do you offer baby and toddler swim lessons in Lake Highlands?
Yes. Mommy & Me lessons put a parent in the water with babies and toddlers from 6 months, and lessons for ages 3 to 6 work on floating, kicking and breath control. Tell us each child's age when you register so the match accounts for it.
When do I pay?
Registering is free. Once your instructor is confirmed and you agree on a start date, your invoice arrives by email. Packages of 2 or more lessons can be paid in weekly installments.
What does it cost in Lake Highlands?
Rates are per lesson and set for your ZIP code. Packages of 6 and 12 lessons lower the per-lesson rate. There is a $20 registration fee per swimmer, refunded only if no lessons take place.
What if the instructor is not the right fit?
Ask for a new instructor from your Match Hub. You can do this up to 2 times per package, and InstaSwim finds the next instructor for you.
Who are the instructors in Lake Highlands?
Independent contractors on the InstaSwim roster, not InstaSwim employees. Every instructor you can be matched with has been background checked, keeps a CPR and First Aid card on file, has finished safety and conduct training, and has signed the contractor agreement. Experience is provided by the instructor, and families review the matched instructor before booking.
Which towns near Lake Highlands do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the Lake Highlands roster also travel to Richardson, North Dallas, Preston Hollow, Lochwood, Casa View and Garland, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
Can my child take InstaSwim lessons at Richardson's city pools near Lake Highlands?
No. Richardson's Heights Family Aquatic Center and its neighborhood pools are public pools that require daily admission or a season pass, and they are not lesson venues. With InstaSwim, an independent instructor comes to a pool your family arranges, such as a home, condo, building or HOA pool.
Can kids from Lake Highlands swim in White Rock Lake?
No. Swimming is prohibited at White Rock Lake by city code, and families use it for fishing, boating and rowing instead. Lavon Lake in southeast Collin County has designated swim beaches, but those areas are unsupervised and have no lifeguards, so an adult should watch every swimmer closely.
Will lessons make my child water safe?
No lesson makes anyone safe around water. Lessons build skills, comfort and good habits. An adult should watch every swimmer, every time, at the pool and near open water.
