Adult Beginner Group Swim Lessons at the YMCA of Greenwich

It’s never too late to learn how to swim. With help from our caring and skilled swim instructors at the YMCA of Greenwich, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll go from “I can’t” to “I can!”

Our adult beginner group swim lessons are designed for those who are new to swimming or still getting comfortable in the water. You will learn the basics, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to swim independently. 

By the end of the session, swimmers will become more acclimated to front/back floats, swimming 10 yards, submerging, and jumping into the water with assistance.

Held on Saturdays from 8:35 to 9:20 a.m., adult beginner group swim lessons for the winter 1 session begin on November 14, 2026, and continue through January 16, 2027. There will be no lessons on December 26, 2026, or January 2, 2027.
