Swim Lessons

The YMCA provides instructional swimming programs for all ages, ability levels, and interests.  These programs lay a foundation and instill guidelines for a lifetime of safe, healthy participation in any aquatic environment.

We ask that all students be on time as this will cut into lesson time if you are late.  Please feel free to go to the instructors or Aquatics Director if problems or concerns arise.  We also ask the parents to remain off the deck during the lessons unless otherwise instructed by the instructor.  At the end of the session you should receive a progress report on your child and a program evaluation that we ask for you to fill out and return.
