Swim Lessons – Youth
The Harrisburg Area YMCA offers youth swim lessons for children ages 6-12 years. For our older swimmers, we focus on endurance, pool and personal safety, skill development, and lifesaving techniques. Swimming for ages 6-12 lowers the risk of drowning, builds whole-body strength, and can even help their school grades! Swimming is something your child can do at any age; swim lessons at the Y can start them off right, whether in a team or individual environment.
Level 1: Water Acclimation
Increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance.
Level 2: Water Movement
Encourages forward movement in water and basic self-rescue skills performed independently.
Level 3: Water Stamina
Develops intermediate self-rescue skills performed at longer distances than in previous stages.
Level 4: Stroke Introduction
Develop stroke technique in front crawl and learn breaststroke and butterfly kick.
Level 5: Stroke Development
Introduces breaststroke and butterfly and reinforces water safety through treading water and sidestroke.
Level 6: Stroke Mechanics
Refines stroke technique on all major competitive strokes and encourages swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle.
