Swim Lessons
Group Swim Lessons
At the Y, swimming is a life skill. We offer a wide selection of parent & child, preschool, school age, teen, and adult swim lessons that build strong and confident swimmers. Welcoming kids and adults of all ages and abilities, our program offers a clear progression track to monitor achievement while every lesson emphasizes personal safety around water.
Our Swim Lesson Curriculum
This program is a water orientation class designed for parent* and child participation. The class encourages the bond of trust between parent and child and teaches parents how to guide and supervise their children around the water. The child will be exposed to basic movements.

STAGE B: WATER EXPLORATION

*At the Y, we define parent broadly to include all adults with primary responsibility for raising children, including guardians, stepparents, grandparents, or any other type of parenting relationship.
Preschool: The preschool swim program is designed to help children progress and build elementary swimming and safety skills. Children are placed in small groups with YMCA trained instructors. Class emphasis is on developing the coordination, endurance, and self-confidence of the preschooler.
Youth: The progressive swim program is designed to help children grow personally and develop strokes and safety skills. Emphasis is on endurance, personal safety, skill development, and lifesaving techniques.
SWIM BASICS Learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
|
|
|
STAGE 1: WATER ACCLIMATION
|
|
STAGE 2: WATER MOVEMENT
|
|
STAGE 3: WATER STAMINA
|
SWIM STROKES Learn additional water safety skills, build stroke technique, and develop skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity. |
|
|
STAGE 4: STROKE INTRODUCTION
|
|
STAGE 5: STROKE DEVELOPMENT
|
|
STAGE 6: STROKE MECHANICS
|
SWIM PATHWAYS Advance training to improve or perfect swim strokes, technique, endurance and speed for sports, competitive swim and fitness. |
|
|
STAGE 7: ENDURANCE, SPORTS AND GAMES
|
|
STAGE 8: AQUATIC CONDITIONING
|
Teen and adult swim lessons are for those individuals who wish to learn to swim or those who want to improve their technique. Classes have a low student-to-instructor ratio, which allows for personal instruction in each class. Each level is comprised of five elements: personal safety, skill development, personal growth, water sports/games and rescue.

- What to Wear:
- Wear a mask at all times while in the facility, except when in the pool.
- Be dressed in swim attire prior to entering the facility. Currently locker rooms are not available to comply with State safety and social distancing guides. While some facilities do have changing stalls available, to make the most of your time, you should come prepared to swim.

All refunds are subject to an additional $25 processing fee. Classes with insufficient enrollment may be cancelled and fees refunded.

- If the participant misses a class for any reason, credit/refund will NOT be given even if a doctor’s note is presented.
We are asking only one caregiver per child. If your family has no other option, or if you have two children enrolled in classes that take place after the other, you may bring the sibling and keep them close to you. We ask that you please respect social distancing at all times.
Yes, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) issued guidance that it is safe to swim as the virus cannot be spread via chlorinated and maintained water. Our pools meet or exceed the health standards recommended by the CDC and local authorities.
