Youth Swim Lessons

The YMCA Swim Lesson Program emphasizes a guided discovery approach to swim instruction where students are asked to try skills in different ways and reflect on what works best. We use floatation devices to correct body position, provide stability to weaker swimmers, and allow practice laps to go farther. Instructors are almost always in the water with their students to provide examples, encouragement, support, and guidance.

Learning to swim is a long process and all students progress at different speeds. We firmly believe that our methods allow students to stay actively engaged in the learning process no matter how long it may be and encourage you to ask your child's swim instructor (after class), or any member of our aquatic staff, any questions you may have.
