At the Summit Area YMCA, we’ve held a commitment to our community for generations to build more confident swimmers and instill water safety for all. From group to private lessons to competitive swimming, we are proud to carry on the tradition of developing strong swimmers of all ages.
Our swim lesson program is structured around three age categories, with students assigned to a stage based on their swimming ability.
Unsure which stage is right? A quick swim evaluation will guide proper placement and set your swimmer up for success. It’s simple, fast, and recommended for anyone entering Stage 4 and above. Contact us to learn more.
Parent is guided by instructor to learn swim cues to assist their child in learning basic beginner skills.
