Adult swim lessons are for adults who don’t feel at ease in the water or who have never participate in swimming lessons. Non-swimmers are taught basic swimming skills and water safety. The YMCA helps adults develop valuable skills and a lifetime love of the water, while instilling responsibility and safety instruction. Skills taught center around five main components: personal growth, physical improvement, psychological improvement, physiological improvement, and swim mastery.

With a focus on water safety and skill development, the YMCA Fall Swim Lesson program is effective at helping children and teens learn to swim and, most importantly, be safe around water.
