YWCA Greater Green Bay has the “best swimming lessons in town.” Our swim instructors are committed to creating a comfortable atmosphere for any level swimmer. Many of our instructors have been here for more than 25 years! Infants, children and adults can learn to swim through group or private lessons. Students will learn to be safe around water and feel a sense of accomplishment that comes with developing a new skill. We keep our class sizes small to work with each student individually and on a group level to enhance their swim skills. Private lessons are also available for adults or children looking for a more personalized level of attention.

Our swim lessons focus on:

• Personal Safety: Students learn to be safety-conscious in and around water through instruction on accident prevention. Survival skills, self-rescue and boating safety.
• Personal Growth: Students build self-esteem while learning new skills and the consequences of their choices in relation to water safety.
• Stroke Development: Students are taught stroke techniques, treading, floating, and safety using life jackets.
• Water Games: Games are used to enhance the learning process, including retrieving objects underwater and passing a ball.
• Rescue: Students learn safety techniques, such as rotating onto back to call for help, being able to go to an adult for assistance, and reaching and throwing assists.
