Preschool Swim Lessons

Preschool Swim Lessons

Our swim lessons are based on the newest swim lesson curriculum from the Y of the USA: Safety Around Water. Through this approach to swim lessons, kids of all ages can progress at their own pace, while building the confidence needed to become a successful swimmer.

In our preschool swim lessons, students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency. For those more familiar with the fundamentals, students will learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique.
Our qualified instructors will evaluate your child and place him or her in a group according to his or her developmental milestones. Please keep in mind, every swimmer is unique and will learn and grow at their own pace.

All levels are taught within each class and children are grouped with others of a like ability. Swimmers are evaluated and grouped by level on the first day of classes.

We have placed limits and ratios for all classes and levels to promote overall health, safety and quality guidelines.

To promote overall safety and health for staff and swimmers if you or your swimmer are feeling ill or exhibiting signs and symptoms of illness, please refrain from attending programming at the YMCA. You may be asked to sit out a lesson/head home if you or your swimmer is exhibiting any signs of symptoms if illness.
