The New Rochelle YMCA has taught thousands of students since its founding and has classes for all age ranges and abilities. We offer classes throughout the year in group, private and semi-private settings. No matter your ability, we can help you thrive in the water. Find a class that’s right for you.

Our swimming lessons fall under a level system, running from level 1 to 5. Swimmers progress along these levels as they work to further challenge themselves and pick up additional skills. Swimmers who progress past level 5 are welcome to join our swim team and be coached to swim competitively.

Private Swimming Lessons

Group lessons aren't for everyone. One-on-one time with a YMCA swim instructor might be just what you need. We offer private swimming lessons for students starting at age 3 and up, including teens and adults. We also offer semi-private classes for students who are at a similar level.
