Swim Lessons

2012

The Thomas B. Davis YMCA offers year-round swim lessons, including Parent/Child, Pre-school, Youth and Adult Lessons.  

Whether you are an accomplished swimmer or just need to learn the basics, the Davis YMCA has an aquatic class for you. Our classes are designed to build confidence and self-esteem as well as teach swimming, safety and survival skills.

Stroke Development is offered during the year for those who have completed the beginner preschool and youth levels. It is recommended for the child to be able to swim one length of the pool with or without flotation device to participate in this class.

Both private and semi-private lessons are also available. Please register for swim lessons at Welcome center. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

YMCA Swim Lessons are designed to take 3 sessions to progress from one level to another. Some children will require more or less time in a level. We expect each child to learn and progress at his or her own rate. A child may advance to the next level only when he or she can proficiently and safely perform the skills within his or her level.
