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!
For those who are building upon their skills with an Instructor to Swimmer ratio of 1:6.
The UB Aquatics program we will be offering small group lessons for UB student and adults only: adult beginner and adult intermediate.
These lessons will take place at the Alumni Arena Natatorium on North Campus.
**These small group swim lessons are for UB students and adults only.**
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. If you have any questions please Click here to email the UB Learn to Swim Program
