Youth Swim Lessons

The YMCA’s youth swim lessons teach your child how to become a safe and confident swimmer in a friendly and supportive small-group setting.

As their skills and confidence in the water grows young swimmers progress from learning basic water safety to swimming skills including:

How to tread and float in the water
Proper breathing techniques
Key swimming strokes (such as the front crawl and backstroke) needed to pass the YMCA swim test
Safety and rescue skills
Proper conditioning and personal fitness habits

For stages 1 and 2: Each child will require a parent to join them in the water, per our new safety guidelines.

Instructor Face Shields

For your child's safety, all instructors will be wearing face shields.

Expect Reduced Capacity

Pool decks will be at 50% capacity, and only one parent may be on deck. Please don't come early so that we don't exceed capacity.

Advanced Cleaning Procedures

Lessons will be 40 minutes to allow time to thoroughly clean all equipment before and after lessons.

Locker Rooms Open

Locker rooms are available for storing personal items during lessons.

Join Your Child

As with parent-child swim lessons, parents will join their kids in the water for stages 1 and 2.
