SWIM LESSONS

PARENT-TOT SWIM LESSONS

We offer two different parent/tot classes. One session for children ages 6 months to 3 years or a second session for children ages 3 to 4 years. Children enrolled in parent/tot need to wear a swim diaper unless potty trained. Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in the water, while the parent guides him or her to learn aquatic skills. The child will be exposed to kicking, floating, basic arm strokes and breath control through play and songs. An adult must accompany the child in the water.

ADAPTIVE AQUATICS

See flyer for Adaptive Aquatics HERE.

These lessons will be geared towards students with neurological, developmental and cognitive challenges. Our goal is to not only help these students learn how to be safe in the water, but also build strength and increase their cardio- vascular endurance, as well as give them continued opportunities for social interaction.

Financial assistance is available through a grant provided by Huntington HELP.
Any member of our staff will be happy to assist you in this process.

4 weeks / Lessons are scheduled around the swimmers availability.

Members: $30 Community: $55

ADULT SWIM LESSONS

See Adult Swim Lesson flyer HERE.

These lessons offer one-on-one instruction with a YMCA swim instructor, who is selected based on the participant’s specific needs. The sessions may also be structured to meet other needs including:

• Senior Focus

• Adult “Aquaphobia”

• Adult Adaptive Aquatics

• Semi-Private (siblings, family, friends, etc.)

Private swim lessons are available by appointment only. Swimmers can meet with the YMCA swim instructor as many or as few times a week as needed. Lessons are scheduled individually based on the participants schedule. They can be held any day of the week and any time there is available space in the pool.

Please allow 1-3 business days in order for our staff to pair you with the appropriate instructor and up to one week before your lesson begins.
