Swim Lessons for Kids
Ages 6 months–3 years
Teaching children how to be safe around water is a necessity. During YMCA parent-tot and parent-infant swim lessons, young children will be safely introduced to the water alongside their parent/guardian. All YMCA swim instructors are certified and use the nationally recognized YMCA Swim Lesson curriculum, which focuses on water safety, skill progression, and building confidence in the water. With an easy-to-follow swim progression, the Y is a trusted choice for Missoula families.
