The Y’s Safety Around Water program teaches children of all ages and from all backgrounds that water should be fun, not feared. Designed to reach children at risk of drowning and teach them basic water safety skills, this free program isopen to anyone in the community or surrounding area who has not taken swim lessons before. This program will offer three-30 minute beginner swim lessons and  with the time spent in the pool learning water safety and self-rescue skills that help prevent drowning rather than learning swim strokes. Students demonstrate basic competency by learning benchmark skills. While having fun, the children learn new skills each day, while practicing skills learned the day before. Parents are also educated through the child’s learning experience and safety talks.

 

Lessons will cover levels 1-3 of the YMCA V6 Swimming Lesson Curriculum.
