Parent & Child
Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness. Parents learn about water safety and drowning prevention.
Preschool Swim Lessons
Children learn water safety, basic swimming competency and progress through levels as they develop skills.
School-Age Child
Students learn personal water safety, achieve basic swimming competency, and progress to learn about the four competitive swimming strokes.
Teens
Teens progress through YMCA swim levels, from entering the water confidently to refining their strokes.
Adults
Choose from different levels of classes, beginning with water safety and swimming competency, to building and refining stroke techniques.
Private Swim Lessons
We understand that group lessons aren’t for everyone. For those who prefer one-on-one time with a YMCA swim instructor, we offer private lessons.
