Youth Swim

BUILDING STRONG AND CONFIDENT SWIMMERS

SWIM LESSONS FOR ALL from AS EARLY AS 6 MONTHS

At the YMCA, we build strong, secure, connected, and confident swimmers all year long in both our indoor and outdoor pools! Our swim programs work on developing sequence-based skill sets that organically build on one another. Students learn faster, are safer in the water sooner, and progress quickly through the various stages until they succeed.

PARENT & CHILD Swim Lessons

SUMMIT YMCA

Program Description:
30-minute lessons, parents and children in the water together.
.....show more
With a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences. Parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision. Infants and toddlers are introduced to the aquatic environment through exploration, encouraging them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water. Please note: We define parent broadly, to include any adults with primary responsibility for raising children, including biological parents, adoptive parents, guardians, step-parents, grandparents, and/or any other type of parenting relationship.

PROGRAM CHANGES

If a scheduling conflict arises and you need to switch your day and time, a Change Request Form must be completed. Any changes to swim lesson registration or transfers are subject to availability. Space is not guaranteed and all transfer requests are subject to approval by the Aquatics Director. If space is not available in the new swim lesson session day/time you've requested, we will contact you. Any fee differences will be charged once your request is processed. Each family is allowed one session transfer at no cost, after which a $10 change processing fee per request will be charged to your billing method on file. If your fees are reduced and result in an overpayment, the amount will be applied to your YMCA account as a system credit.

If you are withdrawing from the swim lesson program, a Change Request Form must be completed in advance to the billing date to ensure your account is adjusted appropriately. If you are withdrawing mid-program and the required minimum 2-month commitment has not been met, you will be billed for the remaining payment(s). If it has been met, you must submit this request before the 1st of the month of your upcoming billing date or it will take effect the following month. Refunds are given in accordance with the Summit Area YMCA’s refund policy. All deposits are non-refundable. A $10 service charge applies to all refunds. Credits may be used at any branch of the Summit Area YMCA. All refund requests are subject to approval by the Aquatics Director with the exception of requests for sessions cancelled by the Summit Area YMCA.
