At the Westport Weston Family YMCA, we hold a commitment to our community to build more confident swimmers and instill water safety for all. From group to private lessons to swim team, we are proud to carry on the tradition of helping to develop confident swimmers of all ages.
CANCELLATION REMINDER
If the Y cancels a program meeting date or dates, every effort will be made to offer a make-up for the cancelled date(s). If a make-up date cannot be scheduled for any cancelled date, a credit will be issued. If a make-up date is offered for the cancelled date, no credits will be issued. No refunds will be issued for those who cannot attend the make-up date. A make-up is only available if the YMCA cancels a class.
SWIM LESSON STAGES
This YMCA swim lesson program is designed to teach safety, confidence and strength in the water in a supportive and nurturing environment. The program is organized into 3 main age categories and then the student will be assigned a stage based on their skill level. The Westport Weston Family YMCA also offers adult swim lessons, private lessons, masters clinics and competitive swimming programs.
