At the Y, we believe that swimming is a critical life skill. Our experienced instructors teach children of all ages the safety/rescue skills and confidence they need to be safe and comfortable in the water. We understand that different age groups have different developmental milestones, so we tailor our instruction to meet the specific needs of each age group.
We are proud to offer a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn to swim and experience the joy of water activities. We believe that by teaching children the important skill of swimming, we are helping them to gain the confidence and safety/rescue skills needed to enjoy water activities for a lifetime. Our instructors understand the unique needs of each age group and use that knowledge to help them develop their swimming skills.
