IF YOU ATTEMPT TO REGISTER AND THE SCREEN READS “CLOSED REGISTRATION,” YOU MAY NEED TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP! This error can also occur if you attempt to register an inactive individual on your membership, such as clicking to register the parent when you are actually trying to register a child.
REFUND POLICY:
A full refund will only be issued if a member withdraws 7 days prior to the first class. After this date, no refunds will be issued. Memberships are non-refundable. The membership is good for other programs at the YMCA.
We cannot guarantee make-up periods for late arrivals or missed lessons. (Make-up lessons, in time slots other than the one you have registered for, will only be available in classes which are not filled to capacity.) Please consult with the on-deck staff before making up a missed class.
Parents may watch from the pavilion or seating area, but are not permitted on the pool deck during the lesson. As the lesson time is limited, please refrain from asking an instructor questions while the lesson is in progress–we will usually have a check-in person present who can either answer your question, or help you determine an appropriate time to speak to the instructor.
Adults and Teens

Stage 1 & 2 - (Age 3-12)
Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in Stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progression in swimming.
Stage 2, students focus on body and position control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.

Stage 3 & 4 (Ages 5-12)
Levels 3 and 4 may be combined or separated based on enrollment.
In Stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.
Students in Stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke.
(Swimmers younger than 5 may register for this class if they are able to swim independently in deep water, however, this is rare. Swimmers ages 3 and 4 should remain in the Stage 1&2 class until it is clear they are comfortable swimming without any flotation devices or instructor assistance.)
Stage 5 and 6 (combined for ages 6-18)
This is a combined class for students at levels 5 and 6.
Students in these stages work on slearn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through skills such as treading water.
In Stage 6, swimmers refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.
