With one-on-one coaching from a certified instructor, lessons are personalized to your pace, your goals, and your ability level. Whether it’s a child taking their first splash, a teen refining strokes, or an adult building confidence, private instruction provides the safest and fastest way to grow as a swimmer. Dive into a more-confident you!
Private Swim Lesson Update
As part of our continued investment in the YMCA aquatic experience, we will be installing a brand-new pool liner this summer. The pool will close on July 6 while this exciting improvement project is completed and is scheduled to reopen in August.
Due to the project timeline and the limited number of lesson dates available before the closure, we are not accepting new private swim lesson clients at this time. Following yesterday’s announcement, we are working to accommodate all currently enrolled private lesson participants within the remaining weeks of June before the pool closes.
We understand this may be disappointing for families hoping to begin lessons this summer, and we appreciate your understanding. We look forward to resuming private swim lessons when the pool reopens in August and welcoming both returning and new swimmers to an improved aquatic facility.
The new pool liner will enhance the experience for swimmers of all ages and help ensure our pool continues to serve the community for years to come.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these exciting improvements. We appreciate your continued support of aquatics at the YMCA of Southern West Virginia and look forward to seeing you back in the pool this August.
