Lots of adults learn to swim or strengthen their swimming abilities at the Y under the patient and skillful direction of Y aquatics professionals. Through learning how to perform a sequenced set of skills over four lessons of 60 minutes each, learning safety around water reduces the risk of drowning - giving you confidence in and around water. This program is uniquely taught by our own master swim team participants.
We have the lessons separated into two groups for those fearful of water and those that are looking to improve on different strokes. Water adjustment, kicking, arm strokes and confidence in deep water are emphasized. Also for people who can swim a short distance in shallow water with their faces in the water. Emphasis is on refining basic strokes and confidence in deep water. Emphasis is on building endurance and mastering skills.
Also for those who can swim a length or two of several strokes. Emphasis is on building skills and endurance for swimming as physical activity.
