The Fremont Family YMCA offers members the option of enrolling their child(ren) in private swim lessons.  These lessons are for Y members only and need to be scheduled directly with the Dillon Family Aquatics Center. 

Private lessons are $150 for five, 30-minute lessons. (FFYMCA members)

Semi-Private Lessons are with 2 swimmers and 1 instructor at the same time. $225 for 5 thirty-minute lessons. (FFYMCA members)

In Private Swim Lessons you will find:

• That a swimmer will proceed at their own pace. When more time is needed, more time will be given.  If a swimmer moves more quickly take advantage of this!  Group lessons can at times hold a swimmer back.
• A swimmer will have the full attention of the instructor for the entire lesson time.  At times, when a swimmer is ready, they will proceed more rapidly because of the individualization,  additional practice and repetitions during each lesson.
• An anxious swimmer can relax more due to one on one attention.  An easily distracted swimmer can focus more if they are easily distracted in a group setting.
• Private lessons have more flexibility if schedules are less predictable.

Children of all ages love swimming and we'd love to help them learn to swim and/or improve their technique.

Get in touch with the Dillon Family Aquatics Center today!  Contact the Y at 402-721-6952 or Miranda Long at mirandal@fremontfamilyymca.org.
