There is a low student/teacher ratio in order to make better use of instruction time. Class size is limited due to the smaller ratios. Our goal is to progress children from their current level, teach basic water safety and make the class enjoyable. Classes are held in the Downtown YMCA indoor heated pool.

If you have any questions concerning the YMCA Swim Lessons, please call 799-9187 ext. 13.
