Youth Swim Lessons
The purpose of the YMCA Swim Lesson program is to develop competency in swimming along with confidence and endurance. The goals of our program include personal safety and rescue, stroke development and personal growth.
Each class is set up on levels from beginning to advanced for each age group. The beginner levels concentrate on water adjustment, personal safety and basic breathing and swimming skills. The more advanced levels stress more stroke development. Children are placed in levels according to their abilities and needs. A child is advanced to the next level only when he or she can proficiently and safely perform the skills within his or her level.
The aquatic staff deals with each child as an individual and recognizes the fears your child may have. Each child progresses at his/her own speed. Therefore, he/she may not advance to the next level after the first, second, third or even fourth time he/she takes the class. It all depends on the child's physical and mental development as well as their coordination.
