Aquatics
The YMCA is America’s #1 Swim Teacher!
The YMCA Aquatics program is designed to teach water safety, stroke development, water sports and games, rescue techniques and personal growth. Programs are divided by age and skill level. Advancing to the next level is dependent on the child’s completion of required skills and development. Children often require taking a class multiple times in order to develop and refine their skills to the point where they are ready to progress to the next swim level.
Please review the following Pool Rules to make your swim session the best it can be!
