Sessions are by the month and we go twice a week for 30 minutes - so 8 lessons cost about $50. They do a great job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566245 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 14:03:37 +0000 raspberries 2566245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$90, once a week for a half hour, at the YMCA (8 week long session) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566215 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:47:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 2566215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$75 for 6 Saturday lessons (45 min each), provided by a community organization and held at a private nursing home pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566195 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:27:33 +0000 chopstixwife 2566195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, $85/month for approximately 1 lesson per week with 3 other kids enrolled.

We tried a free class and the babies liked it.</p> <p>The local YMCA is not that close to us so I haven't looked at prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566155 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 12:55:48 +0000 rattles 2566155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are two places we priced. Both required a daily intro course before switching to weekly classes. The initiation fee and two week course of daily 30 minute lessons at the one we picked was $205. It's $19.50/lesson from then on. We go one morning a week now. The other place was $470 for first 6 weeks of 15 minute lessons, tapering in frequency from daily to weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566146 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 12:47:21 +0000 skipra 2566146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do lessons with a group that rents out the pool from a few different local hotels. Right now we are doing a 5 week session - 1 half hour class per week. The prices are based on the child's level and number of kids per instructor. My younger is in the parent/child class which is $60 and my older is in the next level up which is a max of 3 kids per instructor and is $100. He is about ready for the next level which is $95 for 5 weeks but classes are 40 minutes. We did lessons at the Y too but I much prefer this group so I'm willing to pay more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566145 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 12:46:31 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2566145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the country club it's $120 for eight 30 minute lessons. We also pay monthly dues and paid a hefty initiation.</p> <p>At the local pool it's $86 for nine 20 minute lessons with a teenager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566113 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:48:53 +0000 Alba4 2566113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Darn- why are my lessons so expensive?

DD1 has made huge gains doing it that way compared to once/week for X weeks. We also don't swim much in between those lessons, so that's probably why :) they are $45 for 5 40 min lessons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566103 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:33:13 +0000 mediagirl 2566103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Private lessons. Local woman who is a head guard at our community pool. $20/lesson. 5 lessons = $90 (whopping $10 discount if you buy 5 in bulk). Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566093 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:18:40 +0000 dragonsword 2566093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is enrolled in a group swim class, $94./mo for one day a week. We are thinking of putting him in private lessons which would bring it to 142./mo. It's a chain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566087 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:16:43 +0000 erinbaderin 2566087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to the local community centre, and pay $87.50 for 10 half hour lessons, Sunday mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566073 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:09:13 +0000 wheres_c 2566073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done lessons at the Y, with our city, and at a private swim place.<br /> The Y was the cheapest but absolutely useless. We quit after 2 sessions.<br /> The city did a good job and was relatively inexpensive but we moved.<br /> We now go to a private place. It's $95/month for weekly 30 minute classes. I wish they were more frequent but we cant afford that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566039 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:43:04 +0000 edelweiss 2566039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for group classes at the county recreation center, it's about $110 for 8 classes. for private lessons at our membership pool, it's $25/class. for group lessons at the membership pool, it's about $11/class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566037 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:41:28 +0000 Charm54 2566037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$38 for 6 weeks.

It's $50 for 8 lessons </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566031 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:31:14 +0000 Adira 2566031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to the Y. It's about $55 for 8 lessons if you're a member ($15.95/month for a youth membership). It's $110 for community members. They are 30 minute lessons once a week. Ours are Saturday mornings.</p> <p>They also have week-long sessions where it's one week, every day. I think the cost is similar and each lesson might be 45 minutes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566030 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:29:08 +0000 Alba4 2566030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to a private pool/ swimming lesson place. I think we pay @ $225 for 8 lessons. He goes one time a week @ 10:30 AM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566015 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:15:47 +0000 BelugaBean 2566015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to a local place and it's $154 for once a week classes for about 8/9 weeks. She goes in the early afternoon but they have classes all day (and it's an indoor pool so heat and sun aren't an issue). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimming-lesson-costs#post-2566008 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:07:53 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2566008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much does it cost for your LO to attend swim lessons? Is it at a chain - like YMCA - or local? What's their schedule like? Five days, four days, less? Morning or evening?</p> <p>Sorry for the abundance in questions, trying to wrap my head around it all. </p>
