About the provider
The Plattsburgh YMCA says its aquatic program is dedicated to more than teaching swimming skills, and that its instruction includes self-confidence, a desire to overcome challenges, and a love for swimming and fitness. The Y has been a leader in instructional swimming for more than 100 years and is referred to as "America's swim instructor." The Aquatics Director is Rick Almond-Goerlitz. Free swim lessons for kids are offered through the NYS SWIMS Initiative, funded through Governor Kathy Hochul's NY SWIMS Initiative and the New York State Department of Health.
Assess your child's skill level before signing up for swim lessons. When children start at the correct level, they can learn with peers and avoid unnecessary frustration. Swimming should always be fun and safe. Schedule of classes is posted below. Sessions are typically 8 weeks in duration. Holidays can affect the schedule. If this occurs, it will be posted on the website and rates will be reduced to reflect the difference in fees.
