JUMP START PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS

Going on vacation? Have a pool in your back yard? Want to try to speed up the learning process a bit? Our consecutive private lesson program will provide your child with the learning opportunity to swim 3-5 times per week and have less time in between lessons. Frequent, consistent practice in the pool builds the muscle memory and endurance to swim independently.

Empower your child with the ability to swim at an early age. Every child is unique and will learn to swim at their own pace. Developing skills and respect for the water takes time and consistent practice. The YMCA Swim Lesson program provides your child with a nurturing, safe and fun environment in which
to learn this lifesaving skill.

In addition to learning breathing and building endurance, all swimmers will be taught water safety skills such as the swim-float-swim combination and the Jump-push-turn-grab skills to ensure they have the ability to return to safety if they become fatigued or fall into the water accidentally. As your child learns these skills, they will build confidence in the water and develop skills that will last a lifetime.

Our Jump Start program includes:

  • One-on-one attention from experienced and caring instructors
  • Personalized lessons based on your child’s ability
  • A progressive curriculum focused on stroke development and water safety
