CHILDREN'S SWIM LESSONS
Swim lessons are for children ages 3 and up. Classes focus on basic water safety and drowning prevention. Children work to gain confidence in the water and get to a basic stroke.
$30.00 per session for Y members. $60.00 per session for non-members. Payment must be received at the time of registration.
Swim lessons run two nights a week for three weeks. A new session of lessons runs each month. Call the Y at 304-636-4515 to register or sign up online.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are available and are taught by our lifeguard staff. Rates are $20/half hour individual lesson or $30/half hour group lesson for up to 3 children. Payment for private lessons must be made at the front desk prior to the start of the lesson.
Please speak to our membership services staff for additional information.
Please be aware that private lessons may not be given by any non-YMCA aquatics staff member at any time.
