Swim lessons introduce and teach a variety of water skills in a values-based environment. At the YMCA learning to swim is more than just stroke development. It's also about building confidence, self-esteem and lifelong skills.

We offer swim lessons continuously throughout the year, with several short program breaks in:

• Early September
• Winter holidays
• March break
• Late June

Age ranges

YMCA swim lessons offer different skill levels for children ages:

• 0 to 3
• 3 to 5
• 6 to 12

Many centres also offer swim lessons for youth and adults.

Register

For your convenience, you may register your child when you join the YMCA as a member and keep that swim lesson time for as long as it fits in with your schedule. Your child's YMCA swim instructor will challenge and support your child to be comfortable, safe and proficient in the water as they progress through the YMCA Swim Program.

Contact your local YMCA Health & Fitness Centre for more information and to register.
