Dear Piranhas,

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.

Many parents have asked how their child can continue practicing and improving on swimming skills.  Joshua has been working at the YMCA on Longenbaugh and Queenston as a Swim Instructor and a Swin Coach.  He has looked into a couple of options for you to look into.  During the Fall & Spring the YMCA will continue to offer Swim Lessons. Group Lessons are $60 - $90 for eight lessons with 6 kids per instructor.  This does not guarentee that you will get Joshua as your instructor.  You can try putting his name down during registration.  If your child was only in our clinic they would need to sign up for Youth Beginner.  If they were on the team they could sign up for Youth Advanced.  He can also do Private lessons for $30/hour.  You do not need to be a member for group or private lessons.  The second option is to join their fall Swim Team season which starts in September.  You do not have to go to the YMCA you can also look into Lone Star Swimming, Mayde Creek Aquatics, Fleet, or Team YES in our area.
