YMCA Swim Lessons begin with the development of basic swimming skills as well as gaining confidence and ease in the water. From there, swimmers refine the strokes they have learned and progress their skills. The lessons also include character development, family involvement and safety education components.
There are three phases: Swim Starter ages 6-36 months Swim Basics ages 3-5 and Swim Strokes ages 6-14.
We also offer Teen and Adult Lessons.
SWIM STARTERS teach a parent or caregiver how to help develop aquatic readiness. The program develops a high comfort level for the child in water and teaches parents about water safety and drowning prevention, developing a foundation of aquatic skills through fun and confidence-building experiences.
