We offer swim lessons for 6 months old up to adults. Lessons range from 30-45 minutes depending on the age. We offer morning, evening and weekend classes. We also offer swim lessons for diverse abilities, as well as private and semi-private lessons.
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 >
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.
