Adult Aquatic Programs
YMCA Aquatics is committed to providing one of life's most important skills - water safety. The Peninsula Family YMCA is proud to offer high quality swim lessons, water fitness classes, lap swim, recreational swim and family water fun!
Adult Swim Lessons (Ages 14+)
This class is for both beginner and intermediate students. Adults who do not feel at ease in the water or who would like to work on stroke development/endurance should enroll in this class. Non-swimmers are taught basic swimming skills and water safety. Skills taught are based on class needs. Ratio: 1-6
Private Swim Lessons (Ages 3+)
Private swim lessons are designed to provide personal instruction and help to improve stroke technique, enhance ability, and improve endurance and strength. Lessons are taught according to your ability and skill level. Private lessons are available to swimmers ages 3 and up, and each lesson is 30 minutes long. Private swim lessons are taught 1-on-1.
Semi-private lessons are 2 swimmers to 1 instructor. Participants should find similarly skilled partners. We do not match swimmers for semi-private lessons.
