Private Swim Lessons

STRONG SWIMMERS CONFIDENT KIDS
STRONG SWIMMERS CONFIDENT KIDS

Y Swim Lesson (YSL)

We offer the National YMCA Swim Lesson Curriculum year-round for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

YMCA swim lessons emphasize water safety, skill, and stroke development. In stages 1-3 students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills —swim, float, swim and jump, push, turn, grab.

Having mastered the fundamentals, students in stages 4-6, learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social, emotional, and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

YMCA swim lessons follow the National YMCA's child-to-instructor ratio to ensure plenty of time in the water. We strive to foster a student-centered and caring atmosphere with well-trained professionals.

One parent/guardian is permitted to accompany their swimmer and view class from the observation area.
