Private Swim Lessons

At the Y, we believe swimming is a life skill.

The Y has more than 110 years of experience teaching people to swim. We have certified, caring staff trained to handle swimmers of all abilities and all ages.

Our Private Swim Lessons provide more flexibility and one-on-one instruction at a time that is convenient for you and your family. Our experienced instructors teach core swimming skills and stroke techniques so children and adults can become more confident swimmers. Private swim lessons will be offered in 1:1 and 2:1 ratios.
