Aquatics at the YMCA

YMCA members are given the tools to better their health but also a way to track how they are doing and what combinations give the best results over time. This program allows users to track aerobic, strength, and weight information. Stop in and see our trainers for more information.

Swim Lessons

At the YMCA we feel everyone should be able to learn to swim. To help bring this to all, classes are divided into age groups and skill levels. It should be easy to find a comfortable level in one of the many classes.

PARENT - CHILD CLASSES (Ages: Infants ages 6 to 36 months)
Provides an introduction to aquatics for parents and their babies. Swim skills are taught through games, songs, and interactive strategies.

PIKE (Ages: 3-5 years)
This is a a class for new or beginning swimmers. Basic paddle stroke, kicking skills and water safety will be taught. Children will begin to be comfortable with putting their face in the water, bubble blowing underwater and breath holding.

EEL (Ages: 3-5 years)
This is an advanced beginer level for children who are comfortable in the water. Students work on floating, the progressive paddle stroke, front, back, and side.

POLLIWOG (Ages: 6-12 years)
Students learn the basic paddle stroke and kicking.

GUPPY (Ages: 6-12 years)
Students are introduced to skills like the front crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke and elementary backstroke.

MINNOW (Ages: 6-12 years)
