Ages 4 and up

The Aquatics Department celebrates developing the lifelong skill of water confidence and competence. Our YMCA Swim Instructors are dedicated to making swimming lessons safe, fun, and educational. Working in a 1 on 1 setting with an instructor provides a supportive and personalized environment to achieve your goals. Along the way, you will develop the necessary skills to move on to group lessons or independent swimming.

To start the private lesson process, you can fill out a request form and send it to [email protected] or bring it to the Welcome Center yourself. After the Aquatics Department has given your request a thorough review, you’ll be able to buy lesson credits from the Welcome Center. You can do this either in person or over the phone.

Lesson credits can be used online to schedule thirty-minute sessions with any of our amazing instructors. Lesson credits must be used (scheduled) within 2 months of purchase or else they are forfeit.
