Swim Lessons - Spring
Spring 2026
Our YMCA Swim Lessons follow the American Red Cross Swim Lesson Curriculum, providing a strong foundation of essential water safety and swimming skills for all ages and abilities. Participants start at their current skill level and progress at a pace that supports learning, confidence, and success in the water.
Through positive instruction and skill-based progression, swimmers build technique, safety awareness, and self-confidence while learning to enjoy the water in a safe and supportive environment. Whether your goal is water safety, stroke development, or lifelong swimming skills, YMCA swim lessons help participants grow, achieve, and have fun along the way.
Lesson days and times will be available a week prior to registration at www.ymca-cv.org/swimlessons

Pedaling for Parkinson's
Spring 2026

The Pedaling for Parkinson’s™ program is based on research indicating that forced exercise on a bicycle can reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s. In fact, participants who ride three days a week over eight weeks have shown improvement in their Parkinson’s-related symptoms by as much as 35%.
