No matter what your age, YMCA swim lessons will build internal strength and positive values that guide choices and decisions, all while having fun in the water. Both youth and adults gain a tremendous sense of self-worth when they learn swim and improve aquatic skills. The YMCA wants to help everyone 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 and we limit our school-age swim lessons (any level) to a 6:1 ratio.
It’s never too late to learn to swim! Our trained aquatics staff will teach you how to float, acquire safety skills, or become a proficient lap swimmer.
The Level Five stage introduces breast-stroke and butterfly. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and sidestroke, and students will work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes.
Level 4 introduces stroke technique in front & back crawl and reinforces water safety through treading water and elementary backstroke.

The Level One stage lays the foundation that allows for a student's future progress in swimming by increasing comfort with underwater exploration and introducing basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Students will learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.
