Swim Lessons

The Y is happy to bring limited Private Swim Lessons back to our schedule! During this time, we will be offering an individualized approach to swim lessons. Your Y wants to continue to offer opportunities for students to learn the basics of swimming and water safety in a fun and safe way.

To Schedule a Private Swim Lesson: 
Please email our Interim Aquatics Coordinator, Chrystal at chrystal@eugeneymca.org.

Private Lesson Options:
Each lesson is 30-minutes long and takes place at the Eugene Family YMCA. All Swim Lessons are scheduled based on pool and instructor availability. 

• Private Lessons: 1 student per lesson
• Semi-Private Lessons: 2 students per lesson
  students must be within two swimming levels of each other
  students must be in the same Family Group 
• Family Group Lessons: 3-4 students per lesson
  students must be within two swimming levels of each other.
  students must be in the same Family Group

Swim Lesson Instruction:
Swim Lessons will be taught by a Swim Instructor who is physically distant from students. Some students may require a supervising adult (parent or guardian) in the water during lessons. Please see details below:

• Lap Pool: All students must be able to swim independently in the pool (without any adult assistance). Swim Instructors will be teaching from the pool deck.
• Small Pool: Instruction will be determined by the swimming level of the child(ren). Children who are comfortable in the small pool, taller than 3.5 feet and can follow instruction from a physically distanced Swim Instructor may not require a Supervising Adult in the water with them. Children who are shorter than 3.5 feet and are not able to follow instruction from a physically distanced Swim Instructor will require a Supervising Adult in the water with them during lessons. A Supervising Adult is a parent or guardian who is part of the student's family group. Each participating child requires a Supervising Adult. Swim Instructors will teach from the pool deck or be physically distant from students in the water. 

Private Swim Lesson Costs:

Costs listed are for each individual student for (1) lesson. Each swim lesson is 30-minutes long.
