My younger son is 7, just finishing 1st grade. The past few summers we've taken swim lessons in Murphy. I'd like to find something closer to home if possible. Does anyone know of a YMCA or a home that offers swim lessons?
Lots of GREAT and Helpful information! Thank you soooo much for taking the time to respond. Bless you...
The lessons with the City of Garland have always been wonderful for my kids they really enoy the self paced classes.

Eastfield college offers kids swimming lessons during the summer---I-30 and Motley.
You might try contacting your nearest daycare. My two girls went to Wee Texans off of Guthrie and Beltline when they were little. During the summer time they would take the to swimming lessons (extra fee). I wish I knew more details but my youngest one is now 18 and I have forgotten a few details. But Wee Texans is still around and they were awesome and did this every year.
I hope this helps.
Are you seeking private lessons? If not I would use the City of Garland web site and locate a pool close to where you are and find a class that works for your son's age. I've used them a couple of times with my son and was happy with them.

It's not in Garland, but Eastfield College in Mesquite has swim lessons. They just started registration 2 weeks ago. They are throughout the summer and are taught by the American Red Cross.
Check out the Garland YMCA website. They have lessons this summer. They are offering and all day camp with swimming lessons at the end of the day for an additional fee.
Sandy Travis lives in Mesquite near Galloway & Tripp. She does private or small group lessons during part of the summer. Contact her early because she fills up. She does a great job.
Aqua~Fit Plano offers swimming lessons located off of Plano Pakway. There web-site is www.aquafitplano.com.
