YMCA Swim Lessons

We teach the national YMCA's Swimming Program. The program was the first and remains the largest of its kind in the country. It offers a progression of swimming skills from beginner to advanced. Once the skill requirements of a certain level are met, the swimmer moves on to the next level.

($12 Youth Membership required for all swim lessons)

The levels of the national programs are:

Pollywog: Beginner
Guppy: Intermediate Beginner
Minnow: Advanced Beginner
Fish: Intermediate
Flying Fish: Advanced Intermediate
