Adaptive Private Lessons 

Ages 4-18

At the Lincoln YMCA, we understand that every swimmer has unique needs and abilities. Our Adaptive Private Swim Lessons provide a personalized, one-on-one approach to water safety and skill development. Designed for individuals of all abilities, including those with physical, developmental, or sensory challenges, these lessons ensure a safe, supportive, and comfortable learning environment.

Led by compassionate and experienced instructors, each session is tailored to help swimmers build confidence, develop swimming techniques, and enjoy time in the water at their own pace. Whether the goal is learning basic water safety, refining strokes, or simply feeling more comfortable in the pool, our adaptive private lessons offer a customized experience to support every swimmer’s journey.

Small Group Lessons (2-3 ratio)

Ages 3-15

For swimmers who enjoy a social and interactive learning environment, our Adaptive Small Group Swim Lessons offer a fun and engaging way to build confidence in the water. With a low instructor-to-student ratio), these lessons provide the perfect balance of individual attention and peer interaction.

Through teamwork, encouragement, and positive reinforcement, participants will develop essential swimming skills while making new friends and fostering a sense of community. These small group lessons follow the YMCA Swim Lesson curriculum, ensuring a structured yet flexible approach that meets the needs of each swimmer.
