Why the Y for swim lessons?
We've been in the swim lesson business for more than 100 years, and we know how to do it right. We help students learn at their own pace, building confidence in and out of the water. Plus, our small class sizes (lower level classes 6:1 Instructor ratio / school-age level classes 8:1 Instructor ratio) and flexible schedules are a hit with parents! We even offer scholarships to those who qualify.
We offer year-round lessons at the YMCA for anyone, infants to seniors. To find the lessons that are right for you, click below!
