Private Swim Lessons, All Year!
Private swim lessons are one-on-one swim lessons with one of our exceptional swim instructors. We provide private swim instruction for non-swimmers to advanced swimmers and all skill levels in between. We teach ages 6 months to adult. Please note that swimmers 6 months to 36 months must have a parent/guardian over the age of 18 in the water with the child and instructor. Our pool is heated to 86 degree from November to February.

YMCA Group Swim Lessons (Seasonal)
Class size is limited so all children get lots of instruction and attention. We do not offer group lessons in the winter months. Group lessons cost $30 for facility members or $40 for program members per eight lesson session. Four lesson sessions, held on the weekend, are $20 and $30 per session. Most lessons will be thirty minutes long. Group lessons start in March of 2009 and will be offered into August. The Lighthouse/City YMCA pool is outdoors and is heated to approximately 84 degrees from march to August.
YMCA Group Swim Lessons will start again in March of 2009.
Piranha Swim Team
Piranha Swim Team is designed to introduce youth swimmers ages 5-14 to competitive swimming. Over the past year Piranha Swim Team has competed successfully in nine meets in Tucson and Phoenix. Youth can enroll in Piranha when they complete Fish level swim skills. Tryouts are offered to those children who haven’t taken part in YMCA progressive swimming lessons. If your child wants a challenge or just wants to try a lifelong fitness sport contact Dave Molohon, Aquatics Director, for more information and to schedule a tryout.
Piranha Swim Team just finished competition at the Pumpkin Classic at the Tucson Northwest YMCA. Congratulations to all our swimmers for a great effort and a successful finish.
