SWIMMING IS AN ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILL

Swimming is great exercise and a challenging sport. The YMCA of South Florida offers swim lessons (for all ages), family swim, competitive swimming, water exercise, and adaptive swim programs for kids with special needs. All YMCA swim lessons and activities are taught by caring and compassionate professionals who focus on our participants’ needs. Our instructors and lifeguards are trained and certified.

Let us help you enhance your family’s water safety education and swimming skills to better enjoy the pleasures of all the aquatic environments South Florida has to offer.

SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

Dive into a world of aquatics with confidence with our YMCA Swim Lesson Instructors! Each instructor is certified as a YMCA Swim Lesson Instructor and a YMCA Instructor Safey Assistant. They are also certified in CPR for Professional Rescuer, First Aid, and Oxygen Administration. Rest assured, our commitment extends beyond certifications, with ongoing swim instructor training ensuring that our team is always at the forefront of safety and education.

In addition to our swim instructors, a lifeguard is always on duty!

“I’m so glad I decided to learn to swim and conquer my fear.” Patricia Vaz has been taking private lessons with Andrew for 2 months now. She has made significant progress. She can now float independently and does not fear putting her face in the water. Swimming lessons is the highlight of her week!

My son Samuel has been a participant in swim lessons for about 4 weeks and his favorite stroke is freestyle. Since starting swim lessons he is doing better with the mobility of his arms during backstroke. His favorite swim instructor is Joshua because of how excitable and engaging he is. Samuel's favorite part of swim lessons is when he gets to play on the surfboard at the end of the lesson.

The swimming classes have been very helpful to my daughter. Both instructors- Tim and Alex - have been fantastic. The whole team at the pool is very attentive, kind, and always available to help.

Between Manuel and all of his coaches he was able to move from Stage 1 to Stage 6. Every month Manuel was consistent and worked hard to reach each stage. We value and appreciate all the support from the YMCA Swim Team and from every coach that helped Manuel reach all the stages! A big congratulations to the YMCA Swim Coaches that helped build character, self-confidence, team effort for kids since they are toddlers!

SEMI-PRIVATE & PRIVATE LESSONS

Our semi-private and private swim lessons are designed to help teach water skills and safety. When you opt for a semi-private or private lesson, you’ll receive personalized, one-on-one coaching from a certified swim instructor who is specially trained in the best safety practices. During your lessons, you’ll receive all of the instructor’s focus, which can make learning to swim quicker and easier. For semi-private lessons, swimmers must be at the same swim level with a maximum of two per lesson.

Our packages include – 4 sessions, 8 sessions, or 12 sessions (30 minutes each session).
