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 school-age swim lessons (any level) to a 6:1 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
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.

SWIM STROKES
In Swim Strokes level classes, students will master the fundamentals, learn additional water safety skills, build stroke technique, develop skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.
4: Stroke Introduction
This class introduces basic stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and reinforces water safety through treading water and elementary backstroke. Participants will learn endurance through any combination of strokes for 25 yards, front crawl with rotary breathing for 15 yards, back crawl for 15 yards, diving from sitting position, resting stroke (elementary backstroke), tread water using scissoring and whip kick, breaststroke with kick for 15 yards, and butterfly with kick for 15 yards.
