Group Swim Lessons
At the Y, we believe swimming is an important life skill. Our Group Swim lessons prepare individuals of all ages to be strong and confident swimmers. Using a skill based continuum in a safe environment, students learn to stay safe and have fun while in the water.
How It Works
Registration can be done online via our community portal or in-person at our Member Services Desk.
