Swimming

Children learn to swim using the YMCA Progressive swim guidelines.  Using both instruction and play, kids build their skills at their pace, ensuring that they succeed often, build confidence and have fun.

The emphasis is on water adjustment and exploration in a fun and interactive environment.
