See how you can jump in and get involved. > THE PIONEER IN SWIM LESSONS & WATER SAFETY The Y has been teaching and encouraging swimmers of all ages, abilities and interests for more than 100 years! The National Y program is a progression of sessions based on accomplishing a certain skill set for each level. A child will advance to the next level after completing the appropriate skill evaluation. During the program, in session week six, children will be evaluated and guardians informed of the recommended level for the next session. Swimming is a skill building activity and most children will remain in a swim level for three to four sessions, while they master the required skills. The Y strives to provide consistent instruction; however, we reserve the right to substitute instructors during a session. > JUMP INTO Y AQUATICS Selecting a Class Not sure which class is right for you or your child?
