Students will develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming. A parent/guardian does not need to be in the water with their child, but a parent/guardian needs to remain in the pool area during the duration of the swim lesson.

This class is interactive and social and designed to give the parent tools to help acclimate children 6 months to 3 years to the water.

Parents accompany children in the water, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

Using tools like songs and floating toys, your child will gain comfort in the water while starting to build some basic understanding of the language used in all our swim lessons to set them up for success in later years.

Safety Around Water is an essential life skill. This is an independent program designed to reach children at risk of drowning and teach them basic water safety skills, but the skills that it develops overlaps with those taught in the YMCA Swim Basics Levels 1-3 program.

Students who complete Safety Around Water are prepared to transition directly into the rest of our swim lessons to continue learning.

This program is geared towards our 3-5year old children.

Parents are not required to get in the water but must remain on the pool deck for the duration of the lesson.
