SWIM LESSONS
At the YWCA of Lubbock, we believe that swimming is a lifelong skill, and our swim lessons are designed to help participants of all ages and abilities build confidence in the water. Taught by instructors, our lessons cater to swimmers as young as 6 months old, with programs tailored to meet the needs of beginner swimmers. Each session includes eight engaging, 30-minute classes focused on water safety, skill development, and fostering a love for swimming in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your technique, our swim lessons provide the perfect opportunity to make a splash!
