At the Y, swimming is a life skill. Our swim lessons prepare kids of all ages to stay safe and have fun in the water, building strong swimmers and confident kids. In the school age swim program, swimmers will develop personal water safety and basic swimming skills. As the swimmer progresses, strokes are introduced and techniques begin to be refined using an age appropriate approach. Stage 1-Water Acclimation-Increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Goals for this class are front glide and back glide to the wall 5feet away. Be able to float on front and back 10 secs and recover independently. Learn how to swim, float and swim 10 feet as well as push, turn, and grab independently.

In this class, children are taught skills that focus on body position and control, propelling forward and directional change.
