Swim Lessons - School Aged (Age 6-12)
Swim lessons at the YMCA provide important life skills that could save a life, and provide benefits for a lifetime. Instructors are highly trained in our nationally recognized swim lesson curriculum. Lessons are held in the swimming pool.
**In order to register for swim lessons, children must first register for and attend a swim evaluaiton. Once the child has attended the evaluation, the swim instructor will give the parent a form indicating what stage is appropriate for them. The parent can then register for that stage at the membership services desk.
Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
- Swim, float, swim— sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit
- Jump, push, turn, grab
Goggles are recommended for all stages
Parents of children under 8 years old must remain in the pool area during the swim lessons.
Please click “Register” for the day and time in the month you want to start classes. This program is drafted monthly, until you cancel. To cancel, please submit a completed Program Cancelation Form at least 7 days prior to the 1st of the month. If you do not follow this procedure, the Y will not be held responsible for money drafted – no refunds will be given.
Stage 1 - Water Acclimation
This class is for the school aged child who has little to no experience swimming. Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely float and exit in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming, all while having fun and playing games!
