REGISTRATION REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
CANCELLATION & CREDIT/REFUND POLICY
There are two easy ways you can sign up for Y classes:
The Y is unable to do make-ups or issue refunds or credits for classes missed due to illness, scheduling conflicts or other personal reasons. If you decide not to participate in a class during the first half of the session, a $50 fee will be charged and the remainder of the class fee will be refunded in the form of a credit voucher good toward another YMCA program. NO refunds or credits will be issued once 50 percent of the program session has been completed.
• In person: Visit the Welcome Center to pick up a registration form and fill it out for immediate processing. • By phone: Call us at 847.360.9622 after 7:30 a.m. with your credit card information and we can take care of registration while you are on the line with us.
REGISTRATION FEES Wondering why there are two fees listed under many of our programs? The first fee is the member rate and the second is for community members.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION Most adult and youth programs are held on a session basis and have a start and end date. Participants must pre-register for these programs before attending class, including fitness classes included with membership. For further information about session registration dates, call or visit our Welcome Center desk or go to our website, www.ymcalakecounty.org. Registration is open first to Northern Lake YMCA members, followed by open registration for community members and members of other YMCAs. Registration forms are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Incomplete registration forms or those without a signed waiver will not be processed. Payment is expected at the time of registration and can be paid by cash, check, or credit card (note that we do not accept American Express). Classes must achieve minimum enrollment standards to continue and will be closed when they reach maximum capacity.
LATE REGISTRATION Swim lesson prices increase by $15 beginning on the first day of late registration.
GOOD VALUES! When you register for a program at the Northern Lake YMCA, not only do you get a good value, but you get good values. That’s because all YMCA programs are developed to express, demonstrate and encourage the four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
HELP US RUN GREAT PROGRAMS Great classes have been canceled because of late registration. If enrollment is not at our established minimum number one week before the first day of class, we will need to cancel the class. So PLEASE register early for your class.

10 YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SWIM LESSONS WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAMS DIFFERENT? The goal of the YMCA swim lesson program is to develop the whole person — spiritually, mentally and physically. Our teaching methods focus primarily on student-centered learning, increasing awareness of safety in all aspects and assisting participants in perfecting skills to the best of their ability. The goal is to create a life-long interest in aquatic activities and promote a healthy lifestyle. All instructors are lifeguard certified. Here are five components to the YMCA Swim Lesson Program: • Personal Safety: includes rules and safety tips, floating, treading, use of personal floatation devices (PFDs), boating safety, and health and safety. • Personal Growth: includes character development and personal growth opportunities. • Stroke Development: includes water orientation and adjustment skills (Parent/Child) and major swimming strokes. • Water Sports and Games: includes water polo/wetball and competitive swimming. • Recognizing Emergencies: getting help, non-swimming rescues and first aid.
SWIM LESSONS During each session your child will learn both structured swim instruction and water-safety skills. If your child is ever the only participant to show up for his or her group lesson, the class will run for 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes. The participant must be able to perform the skills required in the enrolled level. Instructors reserve the right to switch any participant they feel is not in the appropriate swim level. We ask that parents view swim lessons from the pool-viewing room. This allows your child to benefit the most by giving his or her full attention to the swim instructor. Communication is key to a successful program so we ask that if you have any questions about the participants’ lessons, please contact your instructor or the aquatics department. For further information on where your child should be placed, please contact the aquatics director at Ext. 27.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT YOUTH SWIM LESSONS SKIPPER SWIM LESSONS PARENT / TOT (6 – 36 MONTHS)
EEL (3-5 YEARS)
An interactive class between parent, child and instructor. Pool safety, water entry and exit, breath control, buoyancy, body positioning, and arm/leg patterns will be taught. These are parent/child classes.
The next step in independent swimming is Eel which allows children to use floatation devices to gain confidence swimming alone. Typical classes include working on simultaneous and alternating arm action and kicking, breathing techniques, and building endurance.
PRE-PIKE (2 ½ - 3 YEARS) Children must be ready for independent swimming to join this class. Water exploration is the primary focus for new swimmers or firsttime independent swimmers. Classes will include proper entry/exit from water, safety in and around the pool, fun and games, and basic water skills.
PIKE (3-5 YEARS) A child under age 5 who has never taken swimming lessons should begin as a Pike. Group adjustment and independent swimming skills are developed. Floatation devices are used during part of the class. Children will learn how to float on their front/back, arm/leg patterns, pool safety, and water entry and exit.
RAY (3-5 YEARS) This class is the first opportunity children have to increase endurance without use of floatation devices. By the end of this level, swimmers are able to cross the shallow end, head in the water, with freestyle type arm action and kicking. Swimmers also will learn the techniques of backstroke and elementary backstroke.
STARFISH (3-5 YEARS) Children will begin refining front crawl and will be introduced to backstroke and elementary backstroke. In addition to swimming without a floatation device, swimmers begin learning breaststroke basics and swimming in the lap lanes.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Y STORIES SWIMMING FOR LIFE You could say Kelly Smith wanted what many moms want for their child: that he learn how to swim. Joel had a stroke shortly after he was born, resulting in weakness on the right side of his body, especially his arm. Kelly was determined to keep Joel active. “I saw something about special-needs programming on the local cable channel about four years ago and have been coming to the Y ever since,” she said. “The program has been excellent.” Now 7, Joel has been doing enrichment classes at the Y. These classes also have helped him advance, Kelly said. “He loves coming to the Y, and it’s really convenient for us since we live nearby.”
“We’re fortunate that a program is offered for special needs. The instructors are marvelous. Consistency for children with special needs is really important. We’ve been with Tim now quite some time and have been very lucky.” At a school meeting for first grade, the social worker asked Kelly about Joel’s swimming. “I told her,” Kelly said, “that the swimming program at the Y is the best-kept secret. We’ve been so pleased with it. There’s really nothing like the Y with the swimming and enrichment classes.” “I’ve shared my success story with the Y with other moms. When you find something that works, parents have to network together to help each other,” Kelly said. We say that Kelly and Joel know the Y is a place where everyone is valued and engaged to the best of their abilities.
