WYS Swim Lessons

Swim lessons are open for swimmers ages 4-16 on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays for a half hour. The swim lessons are now named this year, so please read the description for each lesson before placing your child in a time.  The lessons aim to teach the children different skills, starting with becoming comfortable in the water and moving toward swimming all four strokes independently.

Each session is 4 weeks long. The first session is June 27th through July 22nd. The second session is July 25th through August 19th.

Price: $175.00 per session

Below is a table of the times each lesson is being taught. If you have any questions regarding the skill level of your swimmer, please don’t hesitate to email me at vertullo_christine@yahoo.com. There is a maximum capacity for each class and it is very dangerous to all swimmers and instructors to go over capacity. The pool is a dangerous place and our goal as lifeguards is to keep it as safe for everyone as possible. Lessons are on a first come first serve basis.
