Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons

Private & Semi-Private swim lessons for youth or adults by appointment.

Contact Barb Palmateer, Aquatic Director, to schedule. Lessons run 30 minutes & are scheduled based upon availability of pool time & swim instructor.

The purpose of the YMCA swim lesson program is to develop competency in swimming along with confidence and endurance. A child is advanced to the next level only when he or she can proficiently and safely perform the skills within his or her level. Each level of the program is made up of five components. These components are: personal safety, stroke development, water sports and games, personal growth, and rescue.

We expect each child to learn and progress at his or her own rate. Therefore, do not be discouraged if your child does not complete all the skills within his or her level during any one session. Your child needs to know that it is acceptable to take as much time as is necessary to master the skills.

Please download the flow chart to determine what lesson you should sign your child up for. If you feel that your child needs a swim evaluation, please contact membership services or our aquatics department for more information on swim testing dates or to set up an appointment with the aquatics director.
