Group Swim Lessons

Group Swim Lessons

Due to the winter holidays, there will only be four sessions of Saturday 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 Preschool (Ages 3 – 5) and Youth (Ages 6 – 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.
