Swim Starters, or stages A and B, is our child with adult swim lesson program. 

Swim Basics, or stages 1 to 3, is a swim lesson program for ages 3 to 16 that focuses on learning basic swim skills, improving water safety, and building confidence in the water. Students will practice two key swim sequences that are the foundation for a safe swimming experience: swim, float, swim and jump, push, turn, grab.

Swim Strokes, or stages 4 to 6, builds stroke technique and additional water safety skills for students ages 5 to 16. This program focuses on introducing and refining six swim strokes: front crawl, breaststroke, back stroke, butterfly, sidestroke, and elementary backstroke. 

Registration will open on the 15th of each month at 6:00am for lessons starting in the following month. For example, April lessons will open for registration on March 15.

Lessons will be offered for 30 minutes in length once or twice a week for a month. Fees will adjust based upon total number of classes offered in a session.

Supervising adults are no longer required to be in the pool with participants in Swim Basics. If a supervising adult chooses to accompany their student, they can expect to lead the swimmer through skills as directed by the swim instructor.

There is nothing more important to us than the safety of you, our members, our staff, and our volunteers. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), local health agencies, and public officials has been critical as we've updated our policies and reopened or facilities and programs.

• Swim Instructors will be wearing face shields throughout the duration of swim lesson.
• Each lesson will include up to 6 child/adult participant pairs. 
• Staff will disinfect all touch points and equipment before every lesson. Instructional equipment will be limited to kick boards, kick sticks, and pull buoys and will be disinfected between users.
• We’ve also improved air quality in our buildings, including limiting air re-circulation and maximizing fresh air intake.

We are following the latest guidelines from the CDC to ensure our participants are safe. If you do not feel comfortable, we invite you to sign up for one-on-one private swim lessons.

Per the CDC, the virus cannot be transmitted through properly treated water. Our pool chemicals are always maintained within the required ranges set by the health department. Should our water ever go outside of that range, we do close down the pool until the water is safe to swim in again.

We ask participants not to wear masks in the water as it presents a safety hazard.

Yes, at this time, group swim lessons are only available to Y members.

To limit our building capacity, we are limiting the number of guests on the deck to one parent or guardian per swim lesson student.
