Swim Lessons

We offer swimming lessons and classes for all ages and all year round! Our swim instructors teach skills-based swim lessons in addition to water safety in order to establish a lifelong, healthy approach to water, exercise and fun. 

Use the Y's Lesson Selector below to see which class best fits your child.  

We traditionally offer private swim lessons for ages to 6 months to adults. Our instructors can help overcome apprehension, improve technique, or assist in developing a plan for endurance swimming. Currently, we are at capacity for private swim lessons and unable to schedule new lessons at this time. Please check back with us soon.
