Swim Levels – 6 months to 12 years
Please click here for our swim lesson level guide to read a detailed description for our swim levels offered here at the Guelph Y.
Instructors will complete an assessment of each swimmer on the first class of each session or season to ensure their class placement is appropriate for their skill level. Swim assessments can be scheduled to help determine what category your swimmer should register in. Contact us using the information below for more information or to schedule an assessment.
Drop In Lessons – Adults & Teens 13+
Drop-in Adult and teen swim lessons are available for all skill levels and interests. Instructors will help you to set and achieve your goals!
Private Swimming Lessons
For swimmers looking for a one-on-one class, we offer private swim lessons. Instructors will use specific progressions and feedback to work on swim skills at the swimmers own pace.
Attendance Policy
In response to a high-demand for swimming lessons, if a swimmer does not attend swimming lessons for 3 consecutive weeks, the participant will be removed from their time slot. The swimmer is more than welcome to rejoin the class or choose a new time slot, provided there are time slots available. If your swimmer will be absent, please call 519-824-5150 ext. 225 or email swimlessons@guelph.ymca.ca and let a member of the Guelph Y's aquatics team know. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and look forward to seeing you in the pool!
