Private Swimming Lessons
One-on-one swim lessons are available for any of our YMCA Canada swim levels. Instructors will use specific progressions and feedback to help your child work through the YMCA Canada Swim Program at their own pace.
ATTENDANCE POLICY - New policy as of September 2018
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 you know your swimming will be absent, please call 519-824-5150 ext. 225 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!
