The YMCA wants to help all children learn water safety and confidence in their swimming ability. To give each child ample attention, we limit our pre-school swim lessons (any level) to a 5:1 participant to instructor ratio.
SWIM BASICS
In Swim Basics level classes, students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
- Swim, float, swim – sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit
- Jump, push, turn, grab
Please note that our Dunigan branch will test your kids week one to group them according to skill level with the children in the same class. All kids in these first three levels will sign up under Swim Basics.
1: Water Acclimation
This class increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces bask self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Participants will learn to submerge (bob independently), front glide to wall (assisted), water exit (independently), jump, push, turn, grab sequence (assisted), back float (assisted), roll (assisted), front float (assisted), back glide at wall (assisted), and learn the swim, float, swim sequence.

2: Water Movement
This class is encourages forward movement in water and basic self-rescue skills performed independently. Participants will learn to submerge (look at object at bottom), front glide 10 ft, water exit (independently), jump, push, turn, grab sequence, back float for 20 seconds, roll, front float for 20 seconds, back glide 10 ft, tread water for 10 seconds, and learn the swim, float, swim sequence for 5 yards.
This class increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces bask self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Participants will learn to submerge (bob independently), front glide to wall (assisted), water exit (independently), jump, push, turn, grab sequence (assisted), back float (assisted), roll (assisted), front float (assisted), back glide at wall (assisted), and learn the swim, float, swim sequence.

3: Water Stamina
This class develops intermediate self-rescue skills performed at longer distances than in previous stages. Participants will learn to submerge (retrieve object from bottom), swim on front for 15 yards, water exit (independently), learn jump, push, turn, grab sequence for 10 yards, swim on back for 15 yards, roll, tread water for 1 minute, and learn the swim, float, swim sequence for 25 yards.
This class increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces bask self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Participants will learn to submerge (bob independently), front glide to wall (assisted), water exit (independently), jump, push, turn, grab sequence (assisted), back float (assisted), roll (assisted), front float (assisted), back glide at wall (assisted), and learn the swim, float, swim sequence.
