Dive into Confidence: Join Our Swim Lessons Program
For over a century, the YMCA has been recognized as America’s Swim Instructor. Since group lessons were first introduced at the Y in 1909, over a million children (and numerous adults!) learn to swim each year through YMCA-sponsored classes.
Our certified instructors create a supportive and fun environment, catering to all ages and skill levels. Our lessons focus on building confidence, improving strokes, and ensuring water safety. In 2024, we’ve made exciting updates to the Nishna Valley YMCA’s aquatics program! We’ve adopted the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim curriculum for our lessons, and all of our instructors are now obtaining Red Cross Water Safety Instruction (WSI) certification. This collaboration between the Y and the Red Cross combines the expertise of two national leaders in helping kids acquire skills and stay safe in and around water. With small class sizes and individualized attention, we provide personalized instruction to help you progress and achieve your goals.
For our youngest swimmers—ages 12 months to 3 years—we offer Parent & Child classes that are FREE with a Y membership. In these sessions, parents assist their children in enjoying the water, preparing them for preschool lessons in the future.
Whether you’re a beginner taking your first strokes or looking to refine your technique, discover the joy of swimming and gain essential water skills with our comprehensive swim lessons program at Nishna Valley YMCA!
