We offer group swim lessons for children ages 6 months up to adults. Lessons range from 30-45 minutes depending on the age. We offer morning, evening, and weekend classes. We also offer private swim lessons for diverse abilities, as well as private and semi-private lessons, ages 3 and up.
Group swim lesson registration is open to Brooks YMCA members one week earlier than to non-members, and private swim lessons are only available to members. Learn more about Y membership >
To register for all swim lessons, please email Michelle Cook, Director of Aquatics Programs mcook@piedmontymca.org
All age groups are taught the same skills but divided according to their developmental milestones. To determine which stage the student is ready for, download the selector guide.

Member registration for group swim lessons opens one week prior to non-member registration. Please see the above flyer for registration dates. Registration closes the Monday prior to the week of classes beginning unless classes fill prior to that date. You can register online or in person at the Brooks Family YMCA.
We do not offer refunds or make-up classes for missed swim lessons. Due to limited pool space and instructor availability, we’re unable to accommodate class changes.
