Swim lessons

Swim lessons

There is no organization more qualified in swim instruction than the Y, who invented swim lessons in 1903. The Y teaches water safety, a critical life-saving skill for all children and adults, and how to swim. These skills build confidence and make it possible to safely enjoy pools, water parks, and the outdoors.

The Spring 2 Session of Swim Lessons is an eight class session! Check out this helpful tool to determine the level of your swimmer!
