Private and semi-private lessons are a great option for swimmers looking to catch up or get ahead.  These lessons give you individualized attention to help improve or master swimming skills. You set the agenda by working with the instructor to determine goals. Curriculum is customized to meet these goals.

Private and semi-private lessons are available in 1-, 3- or 7-lesson packages, and can begin at any time. To arrange lessons, contact your Y’s Aquatic Director.

Be sure to let them know your current ability & your goals for the lessons, your preferred days and times, and how often you would like to do the lessons, so they can schedule an instructor who meets your needs.
