Swim Lessons
Learning to swim at the YMCA is crucial for both safety and overall well-being. According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1-4. The skills taught in these lessons—like “swim, float, swim”—can be life-saving. Beyond safety, swimming is a fantastic, low-impact exercise that improves cardiovascular health, builds endurance, and increases flexibility. The group environment also helps develop important social skills like teamwork and sportsmanship, and the sense of accomplishment from mastering a new skill can significantly boost a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem. The Y has a long history as a leader in aquatics, with a century of experience teaching millions of people to swim.
Parent/Child Lessons
Parent/Child Swim Lessons are for ages 6 months to 3 years old. Designed for infants and toddlers, this program introduces little ones to the water in a safe and supportive environment. Parents join their children in the pool, making it a perfect opportunity to strengthen your bond while your child explores body positions, blows bubbles, and learns fundamental safety and aquatic skills.
