PROGRESSIVE SWIMMING
Did you know the YMCA has been teaching
children and adults how to swim and be safe
around water for over 100 years?
We offer a program for every level of
development: Y Swim School, Adult/Teen,
Private/Semi-Private Swim Lessons and our
adaptive WAVES program. Swimming builds
confidence and character, and the YMCA
does it best, incorporating our core values
of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility
into each lesson.
Swim programs are organized by sessions,
designed for participant convenience and
set by enrollment; classes may be added or
cancelled based upon registration. Don't miss

freestyle and backstroke, non-stop, and

those that compete in scheduled meets.
Practice schedules and events are designed
for seasonal goals, so young swimmers
experience team fun and achievement. Club
swimming is most successful as a season
commitment and we encourage seasonal
participation. Choose Developmental (2x

your convenience. Please check with the

Y AQUATICS
Our progressive program is designed for all,
from infant to adult, and every level of ability.
We focus on five components: personal safety,
personal growth, confidence in the water, stroke
development, and aquatic activity. Each skill level
builds to the next, and participants are allowed to
progress at their own pace, using the fundamental
cornerstone YMCA program.
PARENT & CHILD
(Ages 6-36mos) - Promotes water enrichment and
aquatic readiness. 30 minutes filled with songs and
games; you and your child learn about personal
safety and water adjustment. Refer to schedule in
this section.
BEYOND PARENT & CHILD
(Ages 2 1/2-4yrs) This 30 minute class will
include both parents and child in the water for
structured activities, that focus on the child gaining
confidence and abilities in preparation for group
lessons without the parent.
PRESCHOOL
(Ages 3-5yrs) 30 minutes. Children get their first
experience in the pool without parental assistance!
Bubble belts are used as aids to help the children
swim safely and independently. Swimmers are
divided into four skill levels and move up as they
progress.
Pike: This level is for the beginner
swimmer. Children who are being exposed
to water for the first time, have a
concern of getting their face wet or being
submerged are best placed in this level. In these
classes, the instructor will work with your child to
gain comfort in the water while working on basic
swimming skills.
Eel: In this level, your child must be
comfortable in the water. They will jump
in the water and have no concern of
getting their face wet or submerging. The
instructor will work with your child to move from a
vertical swim position to a horizontal swim position.
Ray: At this level your child is able
to swim independently for at least 15
feet or 5 yards without any floatation
device. In this level, we will work to improve stroke
form and endurance for both front crawl and
backstroke.
8
Starfish: The most advanced preschool
level Starfish, is for a child who can swim
75 feet or 25 yards without assistance.
Your child will refine their primary strokes
and begin to learn the skills for more advanced
swimming strokes.
YOUTH
(Ages 6-12yrs) 40 minutes. Personal growth, safety,
stroke development, water sports/games and
confidence in the water are the five components
of YMCA Swim Lessons. Each skill level builds upon
the preceding level and will help develop a lifelong
interest in aquatics.
Polliwog: This level is for the beginner
swimmer. Children who are exposed
to water for the first time, or have
a concern of getting their face wet or being
submerged are best placed in this level. In these
classes, the instructor will work with your child to
gain comfort in the water while working on basic
swimming skills.
Guppy: This level is for children who have
no concern of getting their face wet or
being submerged, and can swim 75 feet
or 25 yards without assistance. Your child
will refine their primary strokes as well as learn
elements of the butterfly stroke.
Minnow: This level is for the
intermediate swimmer. Your child must
be able to swim 50 yards on front
and back without a flotation device using refined
rotary breathing. We will begin to teach your child
the sidestroke, breaststroke, and elementary
backstroke as well as learn how to swim the dolphin
kick.
Fish: In this level, your child must be able
to swim 75 yards on front and back without
a flotation device using rotary breathing
and open turns. Your child will finalize their
competency for sidestroke, breaststroke, and
elementary backstroke as well as learn how to swim
the butterfly.
Flying Fish: Your child must be able to
swim front crawl and backstroke, for 100
yards, and elementary backstroke and
side stroke for 50 yards. We will finalize
the butterfly and begin to teach junior lifeguard
skills.

HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE MORE
Y-Achievers College Access & Success
Program - The YMCA plays a major role in
ensuring that students and families have
an opportunity to continue their education
beyond high school. The Y partners with
higher education service organizations to
build a pipeline of services that will assist
students to achieve college access and
success. Program activities include college
planning and preparation for academic and
financial success, homework assistance and
tutoring, college tours, help with researching
and completing scholarship applications, and
assistance with FAFSA completion at College
Goal Sunday.
In order to accomplish these goals, the Y
needs volunteer mentors to help guide
students through their educational years
and into careers where all persons may
become self-supporting and active community
members.
Please work with us in a partnership that will
improve the lives of youth and families in our
community.
For more information, please contact Courtney
Crawley at [email protected].
