Group Swim Lessons

Water safety is of utmost importance to us at the Y. Each year countless injuries occur as a result of an individual’s inability to swim. It is our prerogative to ensure the safety of our community when enjoying themselves near water by making swimming lessons always available and affordable.

While the schedule changes each year, our lessons are always ongoing. From the young to the not so young, we offer lessons for nearly everyone! The youth and adult swim lessons operate on the same session-based schedule as outlined below. The Parent-Tot schedule (when available) can be found on the table at the bottom.

Swim Lesson Overview

Youth lessons are structured around small groups not exceeding 6 individuals. A preliminary test is done to see what the children’s current knowledge and skill level is at. We expect each child to learn and progress at their own rate Therefore, please don’t be discouraged if your child doesn’t complete all the skills during any one session. Your child needs to know that it is acceptable to take as much time as is necessary to master the skills.

What is the cost?

Each session is $60 for members and $120 for non-members. The price covers one session comprised of 5 individual lessons over the course of the scheduled period. Scholarships are also available.

Rules & Requirements

• Please keep children away from the edge of the pool until the instructor is with them.

• No gum, candy, or food on the pool deck or in the pools.
• Encourage children to use the restroom before beginning class.
