Parent-Child Classes (Ages 6 months - 3 years)

Infants and toddlers are introduced to the aquatic environment. A parent will accompany their child into the water for each lesson. The Water Discovery class focuses on strengthening the parent and child relationship while teaching the fundamentals of motion in water and water safety. Water Explorations is perfect for the toddler who is looking for more independence in the water under the guidance of a parent. This class is perfect for any preschooler who is not quite ready to swim without the parent. 

 

Preschool Levels (Ages 3-6)

Preschool swim lessons allow children to progress at their own rate.  Each level incorporates stroke development, endurance, and personal safety.  Successful completion of the previous level is required for registration into the next level. Classes are 35 minutes and will have a maximum of 4 swimmers to provide one-on-one opportunities for each child.

 

Youth Levels (Ages 6-13)

Youth levels are perfect for school-age children to progress at their own rate. Students will learn water safety, stroke development, and endurance while becoming comfortable in a water environment. Successful completion of the previous level is required for registration into the next level. Classes are 35 minutes. 

Private Swimming Lessons

Private Swim Lessons are offered for all ages and ability levels. Students work on swimming skills appropriate for their ability and in accordance with their individual goals. Water safety is stressed to all participants. Lessons are 30 minutes long. Participants must bring their receipt to each lesson to prove payment. Lessons must be completed within a year of the purchase date. Fill out a private swim lesson request form at the YMCA Member Service Desk.
