The YMCA knows a thing or two about teaching people how to swim and enjoy the pool. In fact, we invented it! The YMCA has been teaching people of all ages to swim and enjoy aquatic activities for over 100 years. The Scott County Family Y offers swimming lessons to all ages, from infants to senior adults. We tailor our various aquatic programs and lessons to fit each of our unique facilities. Parent/Child Swim Classes are designed for kids 6 months to 3 years old. This class permanently enforces the parent/child bond by allowing children to be introduced to the water with their parents in the pool. A goal of the class is to develop healthy habits to last a lifetime. Preschool Swim Classes are for children ages 3 to 5 years old. Some of the experiences will be taught with a floatational device. Water sports and games are introduced, along with personal safety and rescue objectives. Youth Swim Classes are for children 6 years of age and older. In the earliest levels, children will be introduced to the water with floating and paddling techniques. In the advanced stages, participants will master all strokes, as well as competitive skills and safety and rescue techniques. Extra Special Swim Classes provide instruction with the same goals as the YMCAs other swim programs, but with the added support of a 3:1 student to instructor ratio. Any Age/Any Level Swim Lessons will allow participants from any skill level and any age to gain instruction simultaneously. This is perfect for a parent looking for some additional instruction while their child learns some of the more basic swimming techniques.
