Group Swim Lessons

The Y is “America’s Swim Instructor” and the most accessible community resource to prevent drowning and encourage a lifelong enjoyment of swimming. The Y introduced the country to the concept of group swim lessons more than 100 years ago, (1909), and each year, the Y teaches more than a million children invaluable water safety and swimming skills.

For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, and meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy.

Red Cross Curriculum: Swim lessons are taught using the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program to ensure high-quality, safety-focused instruction.

Weather Policy: In the event of thunder or lightning, all pools and surrounding deck areas will close immediately. Activities will resume only after 30 minutes have passed without any thunder or lightning. 

If your class cancels due to weather, we will provide credit for the swim lesson towards a future session.

*Each participant must have an ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP*
