Group Lessons

As the largest provider of swim lessons in the country, there’s no one more qualified than the Y to ensure swimmers build confidence with every stroke. Welcoming kids and adults of all ages and abilities, our program offers a clear progression track to monitor achievement while every lesson emphasizes personal safety around water.

Lesson Pricing

Registration includes eight 30- or 45-minute lessons during reserved time in your Y’s pool.

Program Components

Certified Y instructors foster a safe, educational, and FUN environment where swimmers feel empowered to meet and exceed their goals. Safe swimming saves lives.

Swim Basics (Stages 1-3)
Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:

* Swim, float, swim – sequencing front glide, roll, back float, and exit.

* Jump, push, turn, grab

Swim Strokes (Stages 4-6)
Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

Refund Policy:

Full refund granted if request is made prior to the first day of lessons
50% refund granted if request is made on the first day of lessons, even if your child has not attended
No refund available if request is made after the first lesson, even if your child has not attended
If lessons are canceled a prorate equal to the number of canceled lessons will be issued to your Y account
Credits, refunds or make up lessons will only be issued if the YMCA has to cancel lessons.
