LEARN TO SWIM AT THE SEWICKLEY VALLEY YMCA

Swimming is more than just splashing around in the pool and having fun; it's an important life skill everyone should learn. At the Y, we truly believe in this philosophy and have been promoting it for over a century. Our swim lessons are designed for all ages and skill levels, making the Y the perfect place to learn how to swim.

Swimming skills are progressive, so picking the right level for you is essential. Our YMCA-trained and certified instructors cover swimming skills, stroke technique, and water safety in a friendly and encouraging environment. Whether in a private or group lesson, all ages can learn with our six-stage program. Click here to view the Swim Lesson Selector.

Our Aquatics staff members are available to answer any questions about the swim program and to help place your child at the appropriate swim level.
