Group Swim Lessons 101:

Yes, our swim lessons run year-round, after one session ends the next one begins.  
 

We have a swim assessment tool that you can take for your child, or you can come into the branch and speak with our aquatic directors.

A swim suit, a towel, goggles (if you prefer) and a dry change of clothes. 
 

If your child is to utilize the Aquatics facility after swim lessons, they must be under parental supervision at all times. A swim test wristband is required for any child 12 and under to swim in the pool without a parent within arm’s reach. If you are a YMCA Member, you may stay and use the Aquatics facility, but if you are a Community Member, we ask that you please purchase a day pass from the Member Services desk if you would like to utilize the Aquatics facility after your lesson.
