Group Swim Lessons
The Y pioneered the practice of swim lessons over 160 years ago and has taught generations of families how to swim. Our swim instructors teach progressive, skills-based swim lessons for all ages, from infants to seniors. Water safety is our main focus, along with swim readiness, stroke development and establishing a lifelong, healthy approach to water, exercise and fun.
Stage Descriptions for Ages 3-12
1 / Water Acclimation: Increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance.
2 / Water Movement: Encourages forward movement in water and basic self-rescue skills performed independently.
3 / Water Stamina: Develops intermediate self-rescue skills performed at longer distances than in previous stages.
4 / Stroke Introduction: Introduces basic stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and reinforces water safety through treading water and elementary backstroke.

Parent/Child (6 months to 2 years)
YMCA Parent/Child swim lessons for ages 6 months to 3 years help little ones get comfortable in the water with a parent by their side. Through gentle instruction and fun activities, children start to explore movement, safety, and trust in the pool—all in a calm, supportive setting.
