Private In-Home Swim Lessons
First Aid/CPR/AED Certified Swim Coaches
Our Method
At NH Sports, instruction is structured and intentional. Each swimmer is challenged at an appropriate pace while remaining comfortable and supported.
Water safety is foundational to everything we do. We build it carefully and efficiently, without pressure or negative experiences.
For beginner swimmers — including children as young as six months old — lessons focus on positive water experiences, essential safety skills, confidence, independence, and proper body positioning.
Once those foundations are established, instruction progresses to refining technique across all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.

What to Expect
NH Sports provides private swim instruction at your home, community, or private pool. We do not operate our own facility and are unable to arrange pool access. If you’re scheduling a small group session, families coordinate participants directly.
Your coach will arrive at the scheduled time and location for the full session length. To make the most of each lesson, please have your swimmer and pool area ready to begin on time. Session time includes both instruction and brief feedback or questions at the end.
Parents do not need to be in the water. Our coaches prioritize building comfort and trust first, then focus on water safety before progressing to more advanced skills. While this foundation can take time, it leads to stronger confidence and long-term success in the water.
Our Promise
Book your first session completely risk free. Love your session or we’ll issue a full refund, no questions asked. If you experience anything less than extraordinary with us at any time, please reach out at info@nhsports.co and we will make it right.
What Families Say About Us
We just started working with NH Sports and have been blown away by the exceptional service so far! I love that they are mobile! We just started our almost 3 year old and just after the first class, she is now much more comfortable putting her head in the water. Coach Annika was great with her and made her feel at ease and comfortable. She also made the class very fun for her and something to look forward to. We look forward to starting our 6yo to learn more strokes and techniques!

My kids worked with NH Sports for just two weeks prior to our summer vacation and the results really showed! After two short weeks, my kids' confidence during our summer vacation really showed. Our older kids were swimming confidently and our youngest was eager to jump in without floaties. The coach was patient and knowledgeable keeping the right balance between fun and productive during each lesson. Highly recommend this team to help get your kids safe and confident in the water!
- Monica G.
After a summer with NH Sports, the results speak for themselves! Both kids went from not being able to swim - at all - to be totally able to navigate around a pool. My 6yo even started learning all the different swim strokes and was doing laps by the end of the summer. The coach was encouraging, patient (OMG so patient!!), and sweet with the kids. Did I mention patient? He made the lessons a delight for my kids. I can't recommend the NH Sports team highly enough!

Most clients schedule 1-2 sessions/week.

It’s normal and expected for kids to cry for the first few sessions. The new environment and new trainer can take some getting used to. We typically see kids become more comfortable after a few weeks. It’s crucial during this time period for parents to refrain from “rescuing” the child from the trainer’s arms, as this confirms the child’s fear of the environment and trainer.
-
It’s normal and expected to be afraid in unfamiliar territory! Our trainers are well versed in creating a comfortable and safe environment. Our trainers will be with you every step of the way!
-
Water safety and swimming are two very different things. We’ve had clients become water safe in two weeks while some take months. Factors include previous trauma in the water, frequency of sessions, parent involvement, and age just to name a few. At your first session, your trainer will be able to provide a better timeline as well as specific tips to help your child become water safe as quickly as they can! As for swimming proficiently, this can take years! We’ve had clients stay with us from their infant and toddler years, learning water safety, through young adolescence, perfecting strokes!
-
Parents may accompany kids under the age of 18 months, but it’s not required. We don’t recommend accompanying kids older than 18 months as it can be distracting and limiting.
-
Yes. 88℉ is customary. Don't have a heater? You can purchase a solar cover for your pool which heats the water with just sunlight!
