We mean it when we say we offer swimming lessons for all ages and levels. In general, we have either group or private lesson options. Check out some of our specialized options below.
Ages 3-5: Our first age group for swim lessons is preschoolers. The goal of preschool swim lessons is to help students learn confident, independent, sustainable movement in the water through a fun, station-based skill advancement curriculum.
Ages 6-12: Designed for children aged elementary through middle school, our kids swimming lessons teach basic techniques and strokes to keep them afloat. Trained instructors allow each student to learn at their own pace, incorporating positive reinforcements like stickers and certificates. Our program is fun, encouraging, and an important step in becoming a solid swimmer for life.
Ages 13-127: Adult Swim Lessons help anyone, no matter how old, become comfortable in the water. This empowering, judgment-free program is built on our station-based platform, starting with the basic water acclimation and extending through the fundamentals of the four swim strokes.
Every child deserves to learn how to swim, especially children with autism. This carefully-designed lesson program is a one-on-one autism-specific engagement tool, led by coaches who confidently guide each individual child’s trajectory.
Private lessons are exactly that — private. With one-on-one attention, a student will work with their instructor with the whole pool to themselves.
SwimRVA strives to break barriers of age, race, income and disability to ensure that every person in our area has access to aquatic-based programming. This goal is achieved through water safety, aquatic fitness and workforce development outreach programs within the greater Richmond region.
Specifically through a partnership with the YMCA of Greater Richmond, SwimRVA is dedicated to our Drownproof Richmond Initiative. Our overall goal is to provide swimming lessons for every second grader in our community. Each second grader in all the schools we work with is able to access 45-minute sessions for seven weeks — completely free of charge.
At SwimRVA, we use seven stations to guide our swim students through a curriculum. Station one will contain more basic techniques while holding onto the wall and will eventually lead you to swimming on your own by station seven. Once a student masters a station, they get to ring the SwimRVA Bell of Success, receiving a joyous response from our swim instructors, other participants and observing parents.
Even in group settings, our program is personalized for each student, so they are continuously building and improving their swimming skills. We foster an immediate advancement strategy through our stations so you can see your progress and stay motivated in a fun environment.
SwimRVA offers a virtual training center to help you stay active, healthy and fit — all from your living room. Here you will find videos, articles and workouts to help you or your child keep your skills up between lessons.
