Why private lessons

In a group class your child shares the coach. In a private lesson they get the whole hour.

Swimmers learn fastest when the coach watches every stroke and corrects it on the spot. That only happens one-on-one.

Private lesson: The full hour goes to one swimmer.

Private lesson: The swimmer's level and goals set the pace.

How it works

You can start lessons with Rehan in three steps.

  1. 1

    Join the waitlist

    Rehan's schedule is full right now. Complete the waitlist form and tell him who is swimming, what they can already do and where you want the lessons. It takes about a minute.

  2. 2

    Rehan contacts you when a slot opens

    He works through the waitlist in order. When a time that suits you opens up, he gets in touch, confirms your pool and the full price, and plans the first lesson.

  3. 3

    Start with the first lesson

    The first hour sets the swimmer's level, and every lesson after it builds on that plan.

Your coach

Rehan Ahmad teaches every lesson himself, so your swimmer always has the same coach.

Rehan raced for two year-round clubs in Virginia, Occoquan Swimming and the Potomac Marlins. He coached beginners with the Ashland Stingrays, taught lessons with the Kingsbrooke Sea Lions and trained as a lifeguard in CPR, first aid and water rescue.

Now he teaches in Dubai, one swimmer at a time. Every student gets his full attention and moves at their own pace, and safety, fun and real skills are the base of every lesson he runs.

Questions

Parents usually ask Rehan these questions before the first lesson.

Where do the lessons take place?

Anywhere in Dubai that has a pool. Rehan comes to your villa, your building, your community or your club, and he can teach at any other pool you have access to.

What if I don't have a pool?

Rehan can arrange a pool for you. The hire or entry cost of that pool is added to the lesson price, and he tells you the amount before you book.

Are there extra charges for travel?

Yes. The lesson price covers the coaching, and travel to your location is charged on top depending on the distance. Give Rehan your area on the waitlist form and he confirms the full price before you book, so nothing is added afterwards.

How long is each lesson?

Every lesson is a full hour of one-on-one coaching.

What ages does Rehan teach?

Rehan teaches swimmers from six months old to adults. Babies and toddlers swim with a parent in the water.

Do I need to bring equipment?

No. The price includes any equipment the lesson needs. Bring swimwear and a towel.

Is there a contract or a sign-up fee?

No. There is no contract and no sign-up fee. You pay for a single lesson or a pack, plus any travel or pool charge Rehan has confirmed with you.

Can Rehan teach siblings or a small group?

Yes. Lessons are private by default, so mention siblings or a small group on the waitlist form and Rehan will quote for it when he gets in touch.

How much do swimming lessons cost in Dubai?

With Rehan, a single one-hour private lesson in Dubai is AED 200. A four-lesson pack is AED 600, which is AED 150 per lesson, and an eight-lesson pack is AED 1,000, which is AED 125 per lesson. Travel and any pool he arranges are charged on top at cost and confirmed before you book.

What age can a child start swimming lessons?

Rehan teaches from six months old, with a parent in the water for babies and toddlers. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that lessons can begin for many children from age one and that by age four most children are ready to learn to swim properly.

Can an adult who never learned take lessons?

Yes. Adults are a large part of who Rehan teaches in Dubai, including complete beginners and people who are frightened of water. Lessons are one-on-one at your own pool, so there is no class watching and no minimum standard to join.

How many lessons does it take to learn to swim?

Most complete beginners need a continuous block of roughly eight to twenty one-hour private lessons to swim independently, and basic water safety comes sooner than that. Weekly consistency matters far more than the total booked, because long gaps cost confidence rather than technique.

Does Rehan teach in the evenings and at weekends?

Yes. Lessons run evenings and weekends as well as during the day, because he travels to you rather than running fixed class times. You tell him the days and times that suit you on the waitlist form, and he confirms a slot when one opens.

What qualifications does Rehan have?

Rehan swam year-round with Occoquan Swimming and in the Senior Gold group at the Potomac Marlins, taught learn-to-swim with the Kingsbrooke Sea Lions, coached the youngest swimmers at the Ashland Stingrays, and completed lifeguard training with Prince William County Parks and Recreation in CPR, first aid, AED use and water rescue. His race times are public on SwimCloud.

How do I book a lesson with Rehan?

Rehan's schedule is currently fully booked, so new lessons are not being scheduled right now. Join the waitlist on the booking page: tell him who is swimming, what they can already do and which pool you want to use. When a slot opens he contacts you, confirms the full price and plans the first lesson. Keep checking the website for future availability.
