Parent & Child swim lessons introduce infants and toddlers to the water in a fun, supportive environment alongside a parent or caregiver. Designed for children ages 6 months to 3 years, these classes focus on water comfort, basic swim readiness skills, and essential aquatic safety. With hands-on guidance from instructors, families practice entering and exiting the water, floating, blowing bubbles, submerging, and simple arm and leg movements, while parents learn important water safety, life jacket use, and supervision skills. Swim diapers are required for all children.
Swim Lessons are offered year-round in session-based formats for both Members and Non-Members. Please refer to the chart below to view current and upcoming sessions, along with their registration opening dates.

Your swimmer will need to have their photo taken for their YMCA account before the first day of swim lessons for security purposes and in the case of a substitute swim instructor. Please stop by the Member Service Desk to have their photo taken today.
