How much do I charge?

Question

How much do I charge for private swim lessons? For 3 kids, ages 3, 5, and 7. It's going to be at their pool. She is willing to drive me to their pool-because its at her parents house 30 min. away- It will be 30 min there, 1.5 hours in pool, 30 min back- OF COURSE I am Lifeguard Certified and Water Safety Instructor Certified, and I have been teaching lessons for 2 years. Just not private lessons, and I don't know how much to charge....

Answer 1

I live in Southern California where demand for swim lessons in pretty high.  Private instructors here usually charge between $25-$35 for a 30 minute lesson.  Of course, you are teaching 3 lessons back to back, so I would give them a discount.  Considering travel time, something around $100/day would be reasonable.  I have found the website http://www.StartSwimming.com to be a great tool for figuring out what others in your area are charging.  You can post your services for free and then people looking for lessons can hire you.

Answer 2

6 days at 40 minutes per time, is about $40
