Why swim with the YMCA?
- Since 1931, the YMCA has been a leader in aquatics in Canada. The YMCA developed the first nationally recognized learn-to-swim program and has continued to train aquatic leaders ever since.
- The YMCA focuses on helping people develop. Each swimmer is challenged to grow and improve; the achievement levels are tools to help mark progress on skill acquisition and help parents understand the instructional curriculum. Children are continually challenged and are constantly introduced to new skills within each level.
- YMCA staff ensure children master the technical swimming skills while helping children understand and live the YMCA Core Values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility
