CONFIDENCE
WITH A SPLASH OF FUN!
Swim Lessons At The Y
Swimming is a great way for your child to gain self-confidence, learn
new skills, and become safer in and around the water. Our swim lesson
curriculum is based on the YMCA’s Swim Lesson Program and levels
are broken up into Parent and Child, pre-school, and school aged swim
levels. Our Swim Lesson programming and classes are developmentally
appropriate and teach skills well beyond just swimming.
The pre-requisite
for each level is the successful demonstration of skills from the preceding
level, except for Level 1, which has no pre-requisites other than the
swimmer must be at least five years old and currently attending Kindergarten.
Each level includes water safety topics, progressive swim skills, learning
through play and discussions about the YMCA four core values of Caring,
Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.
Caps
and goggles are highly recommended for all swim classes.
Our Swim Lesson
class sessions are traditionally held once a week and run for seven
weeks and sessions are offered year round.

In Case Of Thunder
/ Lightning
• In the case of thunder / lightning members in
the natatorium will be cleared from the Pool and Deck areas.
• We recommend that members do not use the showers during a thunder
storm.
• The Pool Complex will close for 30 minutes after each sound
of thunder or sighting of lightning.
Swim Lesson Make-Up Policy
• If a Swim Lesson or other Aquatic Program is
canceled due to thunder & lightning, inclement weather, or forces
out of our control we will do our best
to schedule a makeup date for that program.
•A member of the Aquatics staff will contact you in writing or
by phone if a make-up class is applicable to your program. Please help
us communicate effectively by keeping your membership and contact information
up to date on your program registration form.
• The Waldo County YMCA does not offer pro-rating or discounted
rates if a program is cancelled or a makeup date is unavailable due
to circumstances out of our control. It is always the intention of the
Waldo County YMCA to provide our members & participants with exceptional
service and programming. Our Staff will do what it can in each case
to schedule a makeup date where available, though a makeup date is not
guaranteed.
