Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons at the YMCA are a wonderful way to get your kids engaged in an activity that will serve them for years to come. Whether your child is a beginner or ready to tackle more advanced stroke techniques, we have something for everyone.

Our instructors all work from the same curriculum to help with consistency between lessons. Using the same ‘language’, we are able to effectively communicate water safety strategies as well as important swim skill instruction.

Please note: Safety Around Water is intended for the 3-5 year old age group, and levels 1-6 are for the 6+ age group.

Check out the many offerings below and feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

**Please Note** Due to the Availability of Instructors, lessons for each month are posted between the second and last weeks of the current session. For example: Lessons for September are made available the last week of August. The only exception at present is the Parent and Tot lessons which are available a few months in advance. We appreciate your understanding.

A&B Parent and Tot Swim Lessons (6 mo-3 yrs)

Tillamook
1/7/26 - 2/25/26
VIEW

This class is interactive and social and designed to give the parent tools to help acclimate children 6 months to 3 years to the water.

Parents accompany children in the water, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

Using tools like songs and floating toys, your child will gain comfort in the water while starting to build some basic understanding of the language used in all our swim lessons to set them up for success in later years.
