Swim Lessons
71% of the world is water, children are 100% curious. Drowning can happen nearly anywhere with standing water. But, as a parent or caregiver, you can’t keep your children sidelined. You need to equip them with the tools they need to be confident in and around water so they don’t lose out on the health benefits of exercise, the opportunities to bond with family and friends, and the sense of accomplishment when they learn new skills.
With our YMCA, we enrich children and adults how to properly and safely move in the water. We offer private, semi-private, and group lessons at various branches. As we are a part of the Coastal Empire, it is vital that everyone learn how to swim.
Acclimation/Movement (Preschool)
PRESCHOOL WATER ACCLIMATION INCREASES COMFORT WITH UNDERWATER EXPLORATION AND INTRODUCES BASIC SELF RESCUE SKILLS PERFORMED WITH ASSISTANCE.
Ages 3-5
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—and jump, push, turn, grab. In Water Acclimation students are taught the recommended skills for all to have around water including safe water habits, under water exploration and how to swim to safety and exit in the event of falling into a body of water. Activities, games, and drills, geared to reinforce learning, are utilized heavily as students progress in this skill-based approach to swimming.
