Learning to swim at the YMCA is an exciting and
enjoyable process! Here are a few pointers for you to
know when you or your child begins swim classes:
Be patient and supportive. Swimming develops new
motor skills, and the time needed to learn these skills
varies from person to person. Generally, it takes three
consecutive sessions to progress to a new level. Time
is required to develop strength and endurance to
perform these skills. Swimmers develop as these skills
are reinforced. Our Aquatics program meets the need
for a comprehensive program of water enrichment and
skill development. Our enthusiastic staff, low ratios,
and progressive program will ensure your child’s
experience is fun and rewarding. Read the descriptions
below to determine which program best suits
your child.
