The Orlando YMCA Private Swimming Lessons

Their swim lessons are safe and promote skill development in a secure environment! There are both group lessons and private lessons so that you can pick a class that fits your needs. The top priority is the safety of all the participants. The following procedures have been put into place by our Aquatics program to guarantee the health and safety of students. As well as their families during swim lessons, a member of the Y team will interview participants and take their temperatures upon arrival. Temperatures over 100o must be kept at home for 72 hours after that when returning. Masks will be worn by swim instructors if necessary. Wearing masks and staying physically far apart are recommended indoors. The Y will allow adequate time between Private Swim lessons. Swimming instructors will effectively disinfect surfaces between studies. They are ensuring that any surfaces or areas that are shared between students are disinfected.

Y offers families several options to help their children remain safe before, during, and after their swim lesson.  Each student must have one adult with them. All parents and siblings accompanied by parents are welcome to sit in an area designated for their safety. Please arrive at least five minutes before the lesson time. As soon as your students arrive, please ensure they are wearing full swim attire. During hands-on training, instructors should keep participants at a minimum of arm’s length. In the pool, instructors will maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance from each other and anyone else. It is also vital that parents and guardians physically separate themselves from the pool, which includes sitting at least six feet away from the edge. Mask mandates require parents and guardians to wear their face masks while inside a building.
