Individual swim lessons offer one-on-one (or one-on-two) training for more personalized swim instruction.

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.

Swim Basics – Recommended Skills for All to Have Around Water

Why Preschool Swim Lessons?
At the Y, we believe knowing how to swim is a critical life skill. Our swim lesson instructors will use a variety of methods to help your child overcome fears, build self-confidence, learn water safety and have fun!

Ages:
3 to 5 years
*Parents must remain at the YMCA branch during swim lessons.

COMMON QUESTIONS & INFORMATION FOR SUCCESS IN SWIM LESSONS

  • First Day Expectations: Please make sure your children come dressed and ready to get in the pool 5 minutes prior to the class start time. You will be met by an Aquatics staff member to help guide you to your child’s class. The instructors will evaluate the participant’s swimming ability on day one. If the participant needs to be moved up or down a level, the instructor will notify the Aquatics Director to move the participant to the appropriate level.
  • May I Observe my Child’s Class? Yes! All parents are encouraged to watch the swim lessons, though we ask all parents to sit on the bleachers on the pool deck as this removes additional distractions. If your presence distracts your child, the instructor or deck supervisor may ask you to wait outside the pool area to maximize your participant’s learning process and not interfere with the class. Parents may also wait in the lobby, but are not to leave the YMCA premises during lessons.
  • We Cannot Attend Class- Can We Schedule a Make-Up Lesson? There are no make-ups for missed classes whether your child is sick, out of town or unable to attend. Your child may not attend a class at another time slot in place of a missed class as there are guidelines for a safe instructor: participant ratio.
  • What Happens if the Pool Closes Due to Weather or Pool Issues? If there is thunder or lightning within five miles, the pool will be closed for thirty minutes from the last incidence. Make ups will be offered if time allows. If the pool closes for chemical or maintenance issues make ups will be offered if time allows. Credits will not be issued for weather related cancellations. All pool cancellation notices will be sent out via email- please check every day before lessons for any updates or cancellations.
  • How Long Will it Take My Child to Learn to Swim? Children progress at their own speed, and it is common for a swimmer to remain at the same level for a complete year of classes before advancing. A child’s self esteem, confidence, and strength development are all important aspects in determining progression to the next level.
