YMCA Group Swim Lessons

Let’s get swimming! Find the date and time that works for you and your family, we’ll take care of the rest.

At the beginning of each group swim lesson session, our instructors hold a quick assessment of all participants and then place them into classes with their same skill level.

After extensive research, we determined this skill-based approach is the best strategy to meet all swim needs and help participants reach their goals.

Assessment based swim lesson:

Accommodates students of varying abilities and varying ages.
Fosters a sense of achievement from the start.
Stays grounded in a skill continuum that allows students to move easily from one stage to the next with clearly defined stages of progress along the way.

Find a class that’s right for you, and start working towards meeting your goals.
