The goals of the
Sheridan County YMCA Swim School are:
- Make
as many kids as possible, water safe.
- Promote
swimming, in all its forms and support the growth of the
sport in our community.
- Remove
the barriers that prevent people from enjoying swimming for fitness and
recreation.
We
strive to achieve these goals by offering a simple, high-quality
learn-to-swim program designed to teach people to swim (correctly) in a
short period of time. Our program utilizes scientifically-proven,
time-tested teaching progressions. All of our instructors
receive training on a periodic, on-going basis.
If your child has never participated in a YMCA swim lesson, the
instructor will place them in the appropriate level depending on age
and skill level.
Sessions will be Monday through Thursday
for three weeks and held at the following times:
- 10:15-10:45AM (Monday & Wednesday only)
- 4:00-4:30 PM
- 4:35-5:05 PM
- 5:10-5:40 PM
The YMCA also is offering SWIM CAMP for advanced swimmers over 6 years,
Private Swim Lessons, and Masters Swimming for 18 and over. Call the front desk for more information.
