As the largest provider of swim lessons in Los Angeles, the Y has swim lessons for every age and ability. Choose from weekday, weekend or evening classes for youth or adults or if you prefer we also offer private lessons. 

Our pools are currently closed due to State and Local Public Health restrictions, but we are working hard to have your swim programs and activities available to you when we reopen.

Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness. Parents learn about water safety and drowning prevention.

Preschool Swim Lessons

Children learn water safety, basic swimming competency and progress through levels as they develop skills.

School-Age Child

Students learn personal water safety, achieve basic swimming competency, and progress to learn about eh four competitive swimming strokes.

Teens

Teens progress through YMCA swim levels, from entering the water confidently to refining their strokes.

Adults

Private Swim Lessons

We understand that group lessons aren’t for everyone. For those who prefer one-on-one time with a YMCA swim instructor, we offer private lessons.
