HOW TO REGISTER FOR SWIM LESSONS
Registrations for all swim lessons can be completed online, in person at the Meadowlands YMCA, or over the phone.
You must be a Meadowlands YMCA member in good standing to register for swim lessons.
Children 4+ must have a swim evaluation completed prior to registering (except those currently enrolled in swim lessons). This is to ensure the safety of your child, the other children in the lesson, and the instructor. Children under 4 are not advised to take swim evaluations.
No make-up lessons will be given for missed swim lessons.
