SUNY Buffalo is a proud recipient of Governor Hochul's NY Swim Grant Initiative for the Spring and early Summer 2025 season. Numerous aquatics courses, including Adult Swim Lessons and various American Red Cross courses will be offered over the next few months at greatly reduced costs.
Enrollment in each course is limited, so register today!
- Six lessons for $150.00 for 1 Adult
These lessons will take place at the Alumni Arena Natatorium on North Campus.
There is also an option to register with an adult friend (semi-private)
On the registration form, please indicate the name of the additional learner.
If registering for semi-private lessons, the two swimmers' abilities should be similar.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not have a family changing room. Alumni Arena, built as a Division 1 athletics training facility in 1983, and was not designed for children. The pool water is kept at 77 degrees which is ideal training temperature for Division 1 athletics swimming. Our swim lessons generally cater to our adult UB student population. Most pediatricians would probably recommend pools kept between 83 and 86 degrees.
Make up lessons are not available this session.
