YOUTH SWIM LESSONS

LEARN SAFETY IN THE WATER

Our programs are separated by age group, which allows us to provide care tailored to children at each stage in their development. Alongside building muscle and improving cardiovascular health, children get to interact with each other in the group setting, making friends along the way.

At the Y, we also understand the importance of water safety, and our instructors focus on that topic alongside swimming skills. We ensure that our young swimmers are well-prepared for anything that comes their way! Our staff is experienced, fun, and thrilled to embark on your child’s adventure underwater!
