Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons: All Ages If you or your child need more personal attention than large group lessons, have to offer, consider our private and semi-private options for the whole family. Private instruction is one-on-one swim instruction. Semi-private instruction can be coordinated with a friend, colleague, or with others looking to join a semi-private class. Semi-private classes range from 2 to 4 participants in the same age and swim ability range. We schedule private and semi-private options to work with your busy schedule based on pool and instructor availability. Classes are sold in sets of 4.

Swim Team: The Newark YMCA Storm Swim Team is a COED team that competes against other YMCA teams in the COED Division of the NJ YMCA Swim League. We have four age groups: 8 and under, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14. We provide a safe and fun atmosphere, promoting the core values of the YMCA: Honesty, Caring, Respect, and Responsibility. Our goal is for the kids to have FUN in a friendly, competitive environment, while further developing their technique and health. Competitive team members must be able to swim 100 yards freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke, and at least 25 yards butterfly. The YMCA Competitive Swim Team practices 3 to 4 times a week, with a minimum requirement of three practices per week.
