Parent and Child
Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness. Parents learn about water safety and drowning prevention.
Preschool Child
Children learn water safety, basic swimming competency, and progress through levels as they develop skills.
School Age Child
Students learn personal water safety, achieve basic swimming competency, and progress to learn about the four competitive swimming strokes.
Teens
Teens progress through YMCA swim levels, from entering the water confidently to refining their strokes for swim team participation at YMCAs across NYC.
Adults
Choose from different levels of classes, beginning with water safety and swimming competency, to building and refining swimming stroke techniques.
Private Swim Lessons
Group lessons aren't for everyone. One-on-one time with a YMCA swim instructor might be just what you need.
