Youth Swim Lessons — Downtown YMCA

Ages 3-12

The YMCA’s youth swim lessons teach your child how to become safe and confident swimmers in a friendly and supportive small-group setting.

As their skills and confidence in the water grows young swimmers progress from learning basic water safety to swimming skills including:

• How to tread and float in the water
• Proper breathing techniques
• Key swimming strokes (such as the front crawl and backstroke) needed to pass the YMCA swim test
• Safety and rescue skills
• Proper conditioning and personal fitness habits
