All Kids Swim
Ages 4-14
The Minot Family YMCA and Trinity Health’s Pediatric Therapy Team have collaborated to create a program designed to teach children with special needs swimming skills. The All Kids Swim program is focused on participants ages 4-14 years learning basic swimming and water safety skills in a group setting with individualized instruction. In addition to safety awareness and swimming skills, the aquatic environment provides many benefits for these children:
-
proprioceptive input that assists with reducing repetitive behaviors, provides calming input, and resistance for exercises
-
provides a positive leisure activity for the child and their family
-
improves strength, coordination, range of motion, perceptual and spatial awareness, muscular and cardiovascular endurance and relaxation
-
improve mood, body image, decrease anxiety, and increase self-esteem
-
improve self-care skills before and after swimming
Private Swim Lessons
All Ages
It is never too late to learn how to swim, improve your swimming skills, or fine tune your strokes. With private swim lessons, you are able to focus on everything you want to cover in 5 half hour sessions. These classes are for everyone, children and adults alike, and allow each individual the chance for a one-on-one lesson from our trained and certified instructors. For lesson availability, contact Bridger at bhoffer@ymcaminot.org.
One-on-One Group Learning
Geared toward those who struggle in group learning or simply need or want to get the most out of their swim lessons, this one-on-one approach allows everyone to move at their own pace while still coming together before and after as a group.
