Swim Lessons in Bigfork, MT

Group and private swim lessons for every age and ability at Montana Athletic Club in Bigfork, MT. The MAC’s indoor pool runs year-round at a comfortable temperature, making it one of the only places in the Flathead Valley where swim instruction continues through winter.

Swim lesson programs

Programs cover every level — from water-safety basics for young beginners to stroke refinement for older children and adults. Private lessons are available for learners who want faster individual progress. The swim program is coordinated by Miss Ione White.

Swimming year-round in the Flathead Valley

The MAC has two heated indoor pools — a lap pool and a 92-degree therapy pool — so lessons continue straight through a Montana winter rather than stopping with the outdoor season. The club serves families across the Flathead Valley, including Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, Lakeside and Polson. Pool time and lessons happen in the same building as the rest of the club, so a parent can train while a child is in a lesson.

Beyond lessons: aquatic classes

Once a swimmer is comfortable in the water, aqua fitness sits on the same weekly class schedule and is included with membership at no extra charge — a low-impact way to keep training in the pool alongside lessons.
