Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons
Private Lessons
The YWCA has some of the most experienced and qualified swimming and safety instructors in the Twin Cities. We're here to help you, on your schedule and at your pace. Tell us your swimming or fitness goals and we'll find the right instructor to help you reach them. Note: individual lessons cannot be scheduled during group swimming lessons and other program times. See the pool schedule for program days and times or contact us for more schedule information.
Semi-Private Lessons
Semi-private lessons are a great idea if you want to pair up with a friend or group of friends to take a lesson. Semi-private lessons consist of two to four people with similar ability who take instruction at the same time. Prices apply to each person in the group. The YWCA does not combine individuals to create semi-private group lessons. Customers are responsible for arranging compatible times for the lessons with participants.
