YMCA adult beginner swim lessons are designed for those with little or no swimming experience. Skills will include water acclimation and comfort, proper floating, breathing techniques, and basic swim strokes including front crawl, back crawl and elementary back stroke.

(Ages 6-12) Our school age swim lessons introduce water propulsion, floating, body awareness and independence, all while focusing on water safety and drowning prevention. We cover all the major swim strokes and eventually introduce competitive swimming techniques like racing starts and flip turns. On the first day of class, instructors will determine the starting “stage” for your child and place them into the appropriate lesson group. From there, children progress at their own pace through the six school age stages.

Semi-private swim lessons are the perfect answer for two participants who cannot make our scheduled group lessons or need that extra attention. The benefits of a semi-private swim lesson are that they are scheduled for your convenience, and you can focus your lesson on what you want to learn: to dive, to swim, to complete a triathlon!

(Ages 3-5) Our preschool swim lessons introduce water propulsion, floating, body awareness and independence, all while focusing on water safety and drowning prevention. We introduce a few basic swim strokes: front crawl, back crawl and butterfly. On the first day of class, instructors will determine the starting “stage” for your child and place them into the appropriate lesson group. From there, children progress at their own pace through the four preschool stages.

Water Acclimation: Students will become comfortable independently going underwater and learn how to exit the water safely. Safety is reinforced when students learn about the importance of lifeguard/adult supervision, asking permission before going into any body of water, and life jackets. Goggles are not recommended for this stage.
