YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SWIM LESSONS YMCA aquatic programs promote the development of the whole person spirit, mind, and body. In order to obtain the highest quality of instruction, our swimming lessons are structured around a child-centered learning model and children are divided into ability appropriate levels. Our trained instructors emphasize personal water safety, swimming skills, endurance, and social skills; while guiding children with praise and encouragement. Lessons are scheduled to conveniently take place once or twice a week, Monday-Thursday and Saturday, but please keep in mind that success in developing skills comes with increased repetition. If you re unsure which program your child should attend, just give us a call and we ll explain all the details. PARENT CHILD (6 months 3 years) Our Parent-Child Swim classes provide guidance on how to develop your child s swimming abilities and how to protect them from harm in, on, and around the water. Research shows that participating in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% in children between the ages of 1-4, but we know that the water can sometimes be a scary place for children.
