Learning to swim gives a child a tremendous sense of accomplishment, builds their
confidence and empowers them to enjoy water activities safely. And nobody does
swim lessons like the YMCA.
(The YMCA reserves the right to cancel any session if there are not enough participants.
Refunds will be issued if this is the case.)

Frequently asked questions
Which level will my child be in? The YMCA will organize each session by ability, then by age after registration
is complete.
What do I need to bring? You need to bring your child ready to swim with an appropriate suit and a towel
for after the session. We will supply all the equipment necessary for the class.
What kind of suit should my child wear? Your child should wear a well fitted suit. Females should wear a one piece suit
with their hair tied back out of their face. Males should wear well fitting trunks.
We don’t want a potential situation that could be embarrassing.

Are the Swim Instructors Certified? All Instructors are WSI certified, WSI Aide and Lifeguard certified.
Will my child be able to swim at the end of the session? Each child is different based on their age, natural ability, and motor skill
development. The younger children (3-5) usually do not pick up the skills as
quickly. We try to help the children enjoy the water and to be safe, while teaching
swimming skills.
How long will the class last? The class will last a minimum of 30 minutes of instruction plus any additional
organized playtime at the instructor’s discretion.
Where do I need to wait during the class? Parents are not to leave the building. Parents can wait in the pool area at
the bleaches by the locker rooms. For safety reasons, we ask that you bring your
child to the instructor at the beginning of the class, and come to your child
at the end of the class and walk back with them.
What happens in the event of a thunderstorm? If there is lightening in the area we will not be able to have the lesson. Please
call the YMCA to see if your lessons have been cancelled. We will reschedule
the missed class for another time. Due to tight scheduling, we will only be able
to make up two classes in this situation
