Delaware Youth Center

Sign-up for lessons during our annual Sign-up Day and Membership Drive that will be held on June 1, 2024.  

The pool is set to open July 1st and close August 30th.

Certified Instructors and lifeguards are on hand to provide your child with a fun and safe learning environment. We offer group lessons based on skill level (not age) Due to the depth of our pool there is a height requirement of 44". Our instructors will determine the level your swimmer should be in through a series of in person questions.   

Lessons are held for two weeks at a time, Monday thru Friday for half an hour a day. A parent or caregiver is required to be on site during the lesson.  The class time will be between 8 AM and noon. The sessions for this year are:  

July 1 to July 12

July 15 to July 26

July 29 to August 9

The exact time of the class will be determined once registration closes or the classes are all full. We do have participation limits and sign ups will close once the lessons are full. The cost is $80 per child per session for members or $100 per child per session for non-members. There will be a discount if you sign up for all 3 sessions.        

 Swim Lessons are offered in 2 week sessions for beginners to seasoned swimmers. Our certified instructors will place you in the proper level upon registration. Space is limited. Spots are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis on Sign-up Day and a 50% deposit is required.
