ABOUT YMCA SWIM LESSONS
The Y is your trusted source for progressive swim lessons for children and adults.
With 8 levels of instruction, children are placed in the stage that matches their age, abilities, and comfort in the water, ensuring the best possible experience and steady progress. For adults, lessons are available for beginning and intermediate swimmers, focusing on personalized goals - whether you’re learning the basics or refining your stroke technique.

SWIM-STARTER SWIM LESSONS
For ages 6 months to 36 months
Children participate with a parent in the water. A low student-teacher ratio allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water. Swimmers progress through Stages A and B of the Y's Swim Lessons Stages.
$30 member/$50 non-member - for 4 lessons.
PRESCHOOL SWIM LESSONS
For Ages 3 to 5
Children may participate without a parent in the water. A low student-teacher ratio allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water. To ensure each child is placed in the correct stage for year-round swim lessons, free swim evaluations are required before enrollment. These evaluations help match your child’s swim skills, age, and development to the appropriate stage. As children progress, they will advance through stages as their skills improve.
