How much should i charge for an hour long private swimming lesson??

Question

I'm going to be teaching two girls around the age of 8. I'm going to be driving to their pool, which is about 15 minutes, and their mom insists on them having the lessons hour long. We're only meeting twice a week. I was thinking 80 for each hour per person. I've taught swimming lessons at the YMCA where I lifeguard at over the summer and am lifeguard and CPR certified. Please help! I live in North Florida. Thanks a lot! =)

Answer 1

Well maybe you should go per month like 200 a month for both

Answer 2

In the area that I live in DE it sounds really high especially because your credentials are minimal.  I have charged 20/per half hour for a private lesson.  I have been head coach, developmental coach, have a competitive swimming background even in college, level III ymca swim instructor and have had kids make it to the Top 16 times on a national level, and had kids make Olympic trials.  These were kids that I started from scratch and had no swimming ability when I got them out of lessons as very young swimmers.
