SWIM LESSONS FOR YOUTH & ADULTS
The Y offers swim lessons for all ages. Youth lessons start as early as 6 months old and adult classes are offered for those 16+. Swim lessons are offered in private, semi-private, and group settings. Try a parent-child lesson, learn swim basics in an age appropriate group, swim alongside a small group to gain confidence in the water, or register for a private, one-on-one lesson. To find which swim lesson is right for your child, use the Swim Lesson Finder below to determine which program is the best fit.
PRIVATE LESSONS
1 student to 1 instructor. Best for swimmers who would prefer an individualized experience.
SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS
A maximum of 2-3 students total. Participants will be at similar ability levels; no more than one Oshkosh YMCA Swim Lesson Stage (or comparable ability) apart.
If you are interested in Private or Semi-Private lessons, please complete this interest form before registering and paying for lessons.
SMALL GROUP LESSONS
3 students to 1 instructor. For those who prefer a smaller size group lesson to provide more individual attention and gain more time to learn and discover the water.
See the swim lesson calendar below to view current offerings and register below to enroll in classes.
