Swim Lessons

Learn to Swim at the Y!

The YMCA has long been America’s favorite swimming instructor. We offer swim lessons for infants, kids, teenagers, and adults.

 

Infant/Toddler

Accompanied by an adult, infants and toddlers ages 6m-3yrs  learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.

Preschool

Beginners ages 3-5 will develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn personal water safety with two essential skills in all classes:

• Swim, float, swim — Sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit
• Jump, push, turn, grab — After students are comfortable submerging in the water, they will begin to learn rudimentary swimming skills, followed by work on rhythmic breathing, integrated arm and leg action, and introduction to the basics of breaststroke and butterfly kick.

Swimmers age 5-12 will develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn personal water safety with two essential skills in all classes:
