 Learning to swim at the
YMCA is more than just stroke development. Children are taught in small groups
with others of their own age and skill level to facilitate the students'
socialization skills. Instructors use a child-centered approach which offers
more active involvement and a better understanding of swimming, thus more
learning and more fun. Of course, YMCA Character Development is at the core of
each lesson, as are the essential components of stroke development, boating
safety, personal safety, and rescue skills. Be a part of it all, and experience
swim lessons the YMCA way.
