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 Lochwood 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.

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 sharpen strokes, turns and fitness in the months before the winter UIL high school swim season and its February state meets.

Your building. Your pool. Your schedule.
Instructors on the Lochwood 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 Lochwood swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
Little ones start with a parent close by in the water, getting used to floating, kicking and blowing bubbles. An independent instructor comes to the home, condo or HOA pool your family arranges near Lochwood, so short, calm sessions can fit around naps and family routines.
- 2Grade school
Learn to swim and summer pools
Grade schoolers work on floating, kicking, breathing and early strokes. North of Lochwood, the City of Richardson runs the Heights Family Aquatic Center and neighborhood pools at Canyon Creek, Cottonwood, Glenville and Terrace for summer play. Private lessons happen at a pool your family arranges.
- 3Teens
Building strokes and stamina
Teens who are thinking about a swim team or summer league can refine freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and turns. One on one time at your own pool, or at a building or HOA pool you arrange, lets an instructor focus on the strokes that need the most work.
- 4High school
Winter high school swim season
Texas high school swimming runs through the winter under the UIL. Regional meets fall in late January or early February, and state meets follow in February, held at the Josh Davis Natatorium in San Antonio and the Texas A&M Natatorium depending on classification.
Where private lessons fit
How families in and around Lochwood use an independent instructor.
When families book
Late summer and early fall bring a second round of interest as the outdoor season winds down. The busiest stretch for booking runs April through July, and the instructor comes to the pool your family arranges.
Pools families use
Your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool: you and your instructor settle it, inside their travel radius.

Water to know about
White Rock Lake is close to Lochwood, but swimming there is prohibited by city code. Lavon Lake in southeast Collin County has swim beaches without lifeguards. 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?

32Questions 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 Lochwood?
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 Lochwood?
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 Lochwood?
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 Lochwood?
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 Lochwood?
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 Lochwood do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the Lochwood roster also travel to Montclair, Lake Highlands, Lakewood, Garland, Lower Greenville and University Park, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
Can kids swim in White Rock Lake near Lochwood?
No. White Rock Lake is permanently closed to swimming by city code, as is Bachman Lake. Families use White Rock for fishing, boating and rowing instead. For swim lessons, an independent instructor comes to a home, condo, building or HOA pool your family arranges, and an adult watches every swimmer.
When are the Richardson city pools near Lochwood open?
The City of Richardson runs its outdoor pools in summer, generally opening around Memorial Day weekend and closing for the season around Labor Day, with some neighborhood pools closing earlier in August. A daily admission or season pass is required. These pools are for open swim and are not where InstaSwim lessons happen.
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.
