Individual swim lessons offer one-on-one (or one-on-two) training for more personalized swim instruction. These lessons are available for all ages, but swimmers ages 2 and under are required to have a parent in the water with them. Benefits include flexible scheduling with the instructor and personalized instruction to work on specific skills. Instructors are assigned based on scheduling and the swimmer’s personal goals, and are assigned after the participant has completed online registration. All sessions are 30 minutes long. Sessions must be completed within 60 days of the first scheduled lesson.

Private / Semi-Private Swim Lessons are a great way to improve confidence and fine tune stroke technique. At the YMCA, we make every effort to accommodate each participant’s individual learning style. Some participants do not thrive in a group lesson environment. Participants may learn better in a one-on-one environment. Individual lessons are great for children who thrive with individual attention, teens and adults who are first learning to swim, or anyone looking to perfect their stroke. Additionally, you may prefer the convenience of scheduling the lessons around your family’s schedule. Instructors will work with you one-on-one to develop a plan to meet your swimming goals.

Refund Policy

Refunds will be considered on an individual basis. To be eligible for a refund, the refund request must be made prior to the start of the scheduled lessons. There are NO REFUNDS after the first week of the scheduled private swim lessons.

Make-up Policy

To be eligible for a make-up lesson you must communicate with your instructor or email ([email protected]) 24 hours in advance if you know you are going to miss a lesson. Not showing up without notice will still be considered a lesson and will count towards the Private/Semi-Private Swim Lesson Package purchased. If your instructor or the YMCA has to cancel the lesson, you are eligible to reschedule your lesson. You will be notified of the cancellation as soon as possible, and you will be able to re-book a new lesson with your instructor at a later date. We will extend the expiration date for your lesson package if the cancellation is initiated by the instructor or the YMCA.

Continued Lessons

Families may register for only one (1) individual lesson package at a time. At the completion of an individual lesson package, your family needs to re-register. This is to allow new families the opportunity to experience individual lessons.
