FITNESS CHALLENGE offered at the Dillon Family Aquatics Center
 

Let’s make your water workouts fun while working toward a goal!
We are challenging swimmers, walkers, and water aerobic participants to keep track of the laps (swimmers) and minutes (walkers and water aerobics participants) while they are using the pool. SWIMMERS – you are challenged to swim 50 miles and WALKERS/AEROBICS – you are challenged to use the water for 50 hours. Each participant will be given a chart to keep track of the hours/time spent in the pool. The honor system will be in place.

Class Description:
It's never too late to learn how to swim.  If you never had the opportunity as a child, you can easily learn to swim as an adult.  At first, being in the water may feel strange, unfamiliar, and even a little worrying.  But with time you'll become acclimated, gaining a level of confidence you may have previously thought unimaginable.  These lessons will be taught by qualified instructors.  They will take you step by step to becoming more and more comfortable being in the water and soon you will be able to navigate safely on your own.   

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.
