Swim School

Whether you’re looking for swimming lessons or a trusted YMCA swim school, all swimmers ages 3-12, new and returning, must complete a free swim evaluation before getting started at the Downtown YMCA or Jamerson YMCA. These evaluations help ensure your child is placed in the appropriate swim stage based on age, skill level, and development, setting them up for success and safety in the water. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every swimmer to grow with confidence in year-round swim lessons.

Our infant swim lessons and Mommy and Me swim classes provide a fun, safe environment where parents and children can bond while building water confidence together. These parent-child swim lessons are designed to meet the needs of both parents and little ones, fostering comfort and safety in the water from the very start. In addition, our kids swimming lessons help children develop essential swimming skills in a supportive and encouraging setting, ensuring they gain confidence, safety, and enjoyment in every lesson.

Children participate without a parent in the water. A low student-teacher ratio at our swim school allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water. To ensure each child is placed in the correct stage for year-round kids swimming lessons, free swim evaluations are required before enrollment. These evaluations help match your child’s swim skills, age, and development to the appropriate stage. As children progress, they will advance through stages as their skills improve.
