Make a splash with YMCA Swim Lessons!youth taking group swim lessons in the eugene ymca aquatics center

Learning to swim teaches skills to be safe in the water and so much more. Swimming builds self confidence, develops self-esteem and makes water a safe, fun environment for a lifetime. We are focused on teaching lifesaving skills and developing a generation of strong swimmers and confident kids. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to determine your child's swim lesson level.

    Please Note:

    • Sessions: Group swim lessons are offered on a quarterly basis. If the group swim lessons you are interested in are full, please check back in a few months for the next season's lesson information.
    • Waitlist: Group swim lessons fill up quickly. If you are put on a waitlist, a Y staff member will contact you if a spot becomes available.
    • Lesson Refund Policy:  Due to high demand and small class size, we are unable to offer refunds once lessons have started.
