Qualified YMCA Swim Lessons Instructor(s) will be teaching the important aspects of water adjustment, use of IFD's and PFD's, Boat Safety, Character Development, how to have fun in the water and stroke development!
Parent/Child Swim Lessons (6 mo.- 36 mo.)
The Parent and Child Program is for toddlers and their parent (s). The objective is to help both the parent and the child become comfortable in the water. The child will become aware of the differences between moving through water while the parent becomes aware of teaching their child to be safe in and around the water. The class is designed to allow children to have fun while the parent guides and demonstrates to them aquatic skills. An instructor will be available to facilitate and guide parents through the learning process.
Beginner Swim Lessons
Students learn skill progressions which build the foundation for swimming the front crawl and the elementary backstroke. These progressions include gliding, floating, kicking and treading water. Students will advance to the next level after mastering all of these skill progressions. Water safety rules and skills are also presented. One instructor for every 5 students allows for more individualized attention.
Children will receive a report card at the end of each session.
Intermediate Swim Lessons
Intermediate students will work on stroke development using the skills learned in Beginner class. They will learn the front crawl and the backstroke. Before advancing to the next level, they will use rhythmic rotary breathing to swim continuously for 25 yards. Further safety and age-appropiate rescue skills are presented. This class has one instructor for every 6 students.
Children will receive a report card at the end of each session.
Advanced Swim Lessons
Prerequisite: able to swim 25 yards unassisted using the front crawl and backstroke. This class will focus on stroke development in all four competitive swim strokes and includes one instructor with a maximum class size of 10 students.
For the adult who is either a non-swimmer or a swimmer in need of refinement. Emphasis is placed on water adjustment and basic stroke technique.

Private Lessons cost $125 for five 30-minute sessions.
Build Your Own Swim Class (BYOSC)
If our pre-determined Group Lessons don't fit your schedule, consider building your own swim class. Lessons are available for groups of 4 or 5 children of the same swimming ability. Dates and times will vary with the availability of the pool. For YMCA members the cost is $32 per child and for program participants the cost is $64 per session. Sessions include eight 30-minute lessons. All eight classes must be completed within a 45 days of registration. To schedule your own group swim class, contact Aquatics Director Mary Wilson at 336-395-9622 or email: mjarrett@acymca.org
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Refund Policy: A required form for requesting a refund or credit is available at the Front Desk. This form must be submitted to the Aquatics Director TWO WEEKS prior to the beginning of class. Transfers to a different class are allowed upon Aquatics Directors' approval.
Make-Up Policy: The second cancelled class of each session will be made-up on the noted make-up day. Members and participants will be contacted by the instructor with the date and time of the make-up class.
IMPORTANT: Parents of children participating in swim lessons are asked to leave children at the pool area at the time of the scheduled class and observe the lesson from the overlook window. The overlook window is located at the top of the stairs outside the Men's Basic locker room. The participants can be better served by instructors if adults are out of the pool area during class time. Please transition with your child after class quietly on the pool deck to prevent distracting other classes. Thank you for your cooperation.
