Strong Swimmers, Confident Kids: At the Y, we believe that swimming is a life skill that all children should learn.

The Rye YMCA has been a longstanding water safety advocate and swim school in the community for 100+ years.

The swim program will focus on building a strong foundation for swimmers to learn the fundamentals of swimming. As participants go through the curriculum they will shift from being water safe, to learning skills that will develop their stroke and technique, followed by developing stamina and endurance. During each 9-week session, participants will develop confidence and strength in the skills they are learning.

In order to maximize class time and efficiency of each lesson, it is important that all participants that are enrolling have the required skill set in the qualifications listed under each class. Participants who do not meet the skills required in the qualifications section will be asked to withdraw from the class, with no guarantee that a spot is available in a different level. Please use our lesson selector to sign up for the most appropriate level. You can also attend an open evaluation time to help decipher the appropriate level (optional – highly encouraged for efficiency). Please click here to view current times. Please make note that qualifications of swimmers vary per age group. A pre-school participant in stage 3, will not qualify for a school-age stage 3.

LESSON SELECTOR

Please visit ryeymca.org/ swim-lesson-finder easily find your child’s swim level.
