Learning the basics of swimming including floating and treading water helps prevent drowning. As "America's swim instructor," the Y teaches children of all ages and backgrounds how to face the water with confidence. At the Y we provide a low instructor-to-student ratio to ensure your child gets plenty of personal attention.
