Swim Lessons-Private & Semi-Private
Private (1 swimmer) and semi-private lessons (2 swimmers of the same household with similar swimming ability) are a great option for swimmers ages 3 and up and looking to accomplish specific objectives. These lessons give you individualized attention to help improve or acquire swimming skills.
All classes are 30-minutes and are scheduled based on instructor availability.
Refund Policy
All requests for refunds must be in writing and reviewed by the Aquatic Director. Full refunds can be issued for swim lessons prior to the start of the session, partial refunds will not be issued for unattended classes.
Make-up Policy
Should the YMCA cancel classes for any reason, a make-up class will be scheduled. Once private or semi-private swim lessons are scheduled, make-up classes are not available. However, if the instructor must miss/cancel for any reason, a make-up class will be arranged to avoid a substitute situation.
