St Thomas YMCA

City of St. Thomas Residents – Non‑Member Registration Day is Almost Here! 🌊

📅 Tuesday, September. 8th
⏰ Starting at 10:00 AM

All Non‑Member (City of St. Thomas) registrations must be completed in person at the branch to allow for residency verification. You are welcome to arrive early to receive a queue number before 10:00 AM.

To help you prepare, we’ve shared an updated list of swimming lessons:
- Classes highlighted in orange are currently FULL
- All other classes still have space available (Bronze Star included!)

We have also attached the updated pricing for City of St. Thomas swimming lessons for your reference.

If your preferred class is full, please don’t worry! This update is meant to give you time to explore alternate options or add your name to the waitlist.

👉 Important reminder:

Participants may register for one (1) swimming lesson per week and can only be placed on a waitlist if they are not registered in a class.

After Tuesday’s registration, our team will be reviewing waitlists and will do our best to add additional classes where possible. We also typically see some movement during the first week of lessons, so spaces may still open up—even in classes that are currently full.

We look forward to a great registration day and another fun session in the water! 🏊‍♀️
