Swim Lessons & Private Instruction in El Dorado

Swimming is an important life skill that everyone would benefit from learning. At the El Dorado YMCA, we teach both private swim lessons and group swim lessons for all ages and experience levels.

  • Group Lessons: Age-appropriate swim lessons for all experience levels, from beginners to competitive swimmers.
  • Private Swim Lessons: Personalized attention from our swim instructors during private lessons can help swimmers improve their stroke technique.
  • Safety First: Learn water safety skills and develop lifelong confidence in the water with our instructors.

Water Fitness Classes & Lap Swimming

If you're looking for a low-impact workout, try water exercise classes at the El Dorado YMCA. Our instructor-led water aerobics classes can build muscle and improve cardiovascular help without the joint stress of a typical workout in the gym.

  • Class Options: From Water Tabata to Water Bootcamp, we have water fitness classes for everyone. Class Schedules can be found here.
  • Lap Swimming: We have daily open swim hours where members can participate in self-paced lap swim exercise. Check our live pool schedule for availability.
