Swim Starters Swim Lessons (Ages 6 Months - 3 Years)
The Y is a leader in swim lessons and water safety. Our Swim Starters program helps children become comfortable in and around the water as well as teach parents about water safety. The Swim starters program is for children six months to 3 years old. Parents accompany their children in the pool throughout the program. Swim Starters is a two-stage program. Children with more advanced skills can test into Stage B and bypass stage A.
If you are unsure what class or level your child should take, please check out our handy guide: Swim Guide
