Youth Swim Lessons

The Paterson YMCA Youth Swim Program is designed for both swimmers and non-swimmers and will run for eight weeks. The program will concentrate on orientation and basic skills in the water, allowing the child to become comfortable in the water and with the instructor. Parents of those under the age of five are encouraged to join their child inside the pool during instruction. At the end of the eight week session, there will be an evaluation to determine progression to the next level of the program.
