Come see where you are at for a lesson, for a swim test, for an aquatic certification prerequisite, or to have any aquatic questions answered. Reservation is recommended but not required.

The Y’s adaptive aquatics program is designed for children and adults with special needs. With the needs of each individual in mind, instructors trained in working with individuals with disabilities and diverse abilities provide basic water instruction and teach water safety skills.

For ages 6 months to 36 months

Children participate with a parent/guardian in the water. Swimmers progress through Stages A and B of the Y's Swim Lessons Stages.

For Ages 3 to 5

Children will participate without a parent in the water. A low student-teacher ratio allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water. Check out our stage selector or Sea Where You’re At Saturday to ensure you register for the correct level. 

For ages 5 to 12

Children are taught progressively, starting with fundamental swim skills in Stage 1, with each following stage building on skills taught in previous stages. A low student-teacher ratio allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water.

Ages 13 and up

Whether overcoming fear of the water or refining your swim stroke skills for better fitness, it’s never too late to enjoy the fun and health benefits of swimming. In Adult & Teen swim lessons for ages 13 and older, instructors tailor lessons to meet each student's abilities and goals.

Private and Semi-Private swim lessons are for individuals who want one on one or small group instruction from a swim lesson instructor.
