Children Swim Lessons

Ages: 9 months - 5 years

Preschool Swim Lessons: It is important to teach young children about pool safety and give them the basic skills required for swimming. The YMCA has four levels of classes designed specifically for children ages 3 to 5. Session runs for 8 weeks and the cost is $60.00 with a current youth membership.

Levels

1. Pike
2. Eels
3. Rays
4. Starfish

 

Swimfants: The YMCA offers a swimming class for mom and baby between the ages of 9 months and 30 months. This class is to get the child used to the water. It teaches the basics such as getting the face wet, blowing bubbles, etc. Class is once a week for 30 minutes and the cost is $60.00.

Stepping Stones: A swim class for children who are 2½ years old and who have already taken at least one session of swimfants. Stepping stones starts with parent or caregiver in the water and aims to “phase out” the parent by the end of the session so children have an easier transition into preschool swim lessons. Class is held once a week for 30 minutes and the cost is $60.00.

 

Ages 5 - 13

 

Progressive Swim Lessons: Everyone should learn how to swim, not only for safety reasons but also for FUN! There are seven levels to choose from depending on the skill level of the student. Classes are held once a week for 45 minutes for an 8 week session. Cost is $65.00 with a current youth membership. Parents may watch the first and last class only.  Swim Levels are listed below.  A certified Swim Instructor will test your child if needed to place your child in the class best suited for them.
