"I have put my daughter in swimming lessons for 5 months now, and we love coming here. She has learned so much each time she has taken a class. She was very afraid of the water, but after just one class here, she was jumping in on her own without help." – YMCA Parent
At the Y, we believe every child deserves to feel confident and safe in the water. Stories like this remind us why swim lessons are so much more than learning strokes—they’re about building courage, trust, and lifelong skills.
Swim Lessons
Group lessons are offered by age and level, with each level focusing on water safety fundamentals, age-appropriate swim skills, and building confidence and independence in the pool. From their first splash to strong, capable strokes, every child moves at their own pace with encouragement every step of the way.
Levels have fun fish names, from Shrimp to Shark, giving kids a sense of accomplishment as they develop their skills and grow more confident in the water.
Weekly Swim Lessons
All swim lessons are one day per week, making it easy to build swimming into your family’s weekly routine.
Please bring a swimsuit, towel and goggles (without a nose mask) to each lesson.
Note: Young children must wear a swim diaper under their swimsuit.

For kids ready to take their swim skills to the next level, Parkville Piranhas Swim Club provides an opportunity to work on strokes, build endurance and participate in meets in a positive and fun atmosphere. This semi-competitive group is ideal for swimmers who have completed swim lessons, have a knowledge of the four competitive strokes and may have an interest in participating on a competitive swim team in the future.
