Berkeley YMCA

The primary objective of parent/child lessons is to get both parents and children comfortable in the water. Classes help prepare children for the preschool level classes by being exposed to games that use basic movements, such as kicking, arm strokes and breath control. Activities are based on the developmental abilities of the child.

Youth swim lessons are for children ages 6 years and older. Children use repetition and practice to create a student centered environment with well-trained instructors. This program comprises five main components: personal growth, personal safety, stroke development, water sports and games and rescue. Each skill level builds upon the preceding levels, covering all strokes, diving and safety fundamentals.

Adult swim lessons are designed to meet the individual needs of each participant. Beginners will learn to enjoy the water, work on fundamental strokes and lap swimming skills. Advanced swimmers will focus on increasing endurance and improving stroke technique.

Adult stroke clinics are designed for those who already swim and want to improve their strokes. This class will work on stroke techniques and training tips that will make your strokes more efficient and increase your stamina.
