PARENT & CHILD SWIM
Ages 3 and under
Some of the most important first experiences in the water happen with a parent right there beside them.
Parent & Child Swim introduces babies and toddlers to the pool in a fun, supportive setting while giving parents simple ways to help their child become more comfortable and confident in the water.
Together, you’ll splash, play, practice new skills, and build positive experiences that can grow into a lifelong love of swimming.
YEAR-ROUND SWIM LESSONS
Keep learning. Keep growing together.
Parent & Child Swim is offered as a recurring, year-round program, making it easier for families to stay consistent and keep building skills.
Families may enroll throughout the program year. Tuition is billed monthly, and enrollment continues through August 31, 2027 unless you choose to withdraw according to YMCA policies.
No need to start over or re-register for a new session every few weeks.

PARENT AND ME A
Ages 6–18 Months
A fun and gentle introduction to the water for babies and their parents.

PARENT AND ME B
Ages 18–36 Months
As toddlers become more comfortable in the pool, they begin working toward basic swimming skills while continuing to participate with a parent or guardian.
Children practice skills such as getting their face wet, floating, kicking, blowing bubbles, and becoming more comfortable interacting with the instructor.
The goal is to build confidence, familiarity, and growing independence while keeping the experience fun and positive.

FAMILY SWIM TIME
Swim lessons are only one part of becoming comfortable in the pool.
Family Swim Time gives parents and children an opportunity to enjoy the water together outside of lessons. Practice developing skills, splash and play, or simply enjoy time together as a family.
It’s also a great way for young swimmers to become even more comfortable in the pool by spending relaxed, positive time in the water with the people they trust most.
FAMILY SWIM GUIDELINES
Children under age 12 must be supervised by a parent or guardian in the pool area.
Children under age 7 must have an adult in the water with them.
Bubbles and approved flotation devices may be used during designated Family Swim times.
