YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
              SWIM LESSONS
STRONG SWIMMERS = CONFIDENT KIDS
For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to
create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the
most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay
safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying
healthy.
Our Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen
Administration. All swim instructors will be wearing masks and leading non-contact instructions. They
will be providing lessons, while socially distanced in the water and from the pool deck.
Swim Starters and Swim Basics classes require one parent* to participate in the pool and on the
pool deck. Groups will be socially distanced from others.
Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.
All ages - from infants to seniors - can learn to swim at the Y. Check out our class offerings to find one
that fits your family’s busy schedule.
*At the Y, we know families take a variety of forms. As a result, we define parents broadly to include all adults with primary responsibility for raising children, including biological
parents, adoptive parents, stepparents, grandparents or any type of parenting relationship.

ing care of your health is more important now than ever before. We’re here to help you stay active and
