2 SATURDAYS MONDAYS-THRUSDAYS PARENT/CHILD LESSONS (6 36 months) The Parent/Child program pairs infants and toddlers with a trusted adult to facilitate water adjustment. Grandparents, family friends, etc. and/or multiple young children are welcome! Classes focus on safe water exploration, effective arm and leg movements, bubble blowing and more with the help of songs, games, and pool toys. Student-to-instructor ratio: 10 parent/child pairs to 1 instructor. Mondays Thursdays: 10:35 11:05am Saturdays: 11:30am 12:00pm PRE-SCHOOL LESSONS (3-5 years) The Preschool program provides children with a parent-free water experience. They are taught basic strokes and other aquatic skills to help them become safe, independent swimmers. Class participants are divided into skill levels in order for the instructor to more easily provide them with individual attention. All classes include age-appropriate water safety, boating safety, water polo, and water rescue components. Complete lists of skills taught in each level are available upon request. Student-toinstructor ratio: 5 to 1. TIME PIKE EEL RAYS 9:55-10:25am 10:35-11:05am 4:00 4:30pm 5:40 6:10pm 6:15-6:45pm 10:50-11:20am 11:30am-12:00pm

3 MONDAYS-THRUSDAYS SATURDAYS Pike (Beginner I) No previous experience required. Students will learn rudimentary front and backstrokes, front and back float, and generally become better adjusted to the water. Instructional flotation devices (IFDs) will be used. Eel (Beginner II) Students should be able to put their faces in the water and swim independently with a float. Students will refine their front and back strokes and work on reducing or eliminating the use of IFD Rays (Advanced Beginner I) Students should be able to swim rudimentary front stroke and backstroke at least 5 feet without a float. Students will refine their freestyle and elementary backstroke while breaststroke, over-arm backstroke, treading water, and diving are introduced. YOUTH LESSONS (6-14 years) The Youth program provides a graduated introduction to swimming that grows with children as they learn and improve their strokes and other aquatic skills. Swimmers are initially registered for one of 7 levels but can be moved up or down depending on their demonstrated comfort and skill on the first day of class. All classes include age-appropriate water safety, boating safety, water polo, and water rescue components. Complete lists of skills taught in each level are available upon request.

4 YOUTH LESSONS (6-14 years) Polliwogs (Beginner) No experience required. This class is recommended for children who are afraid of the water. Students will learn rudimentary front and backstroke, the front and back float, and generally become better adjusted to the water. Guppies (Advanced Beginner) Students should be able to put their faces in the water and swim independently with a float. Students will learn rudimentary freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke, as well as treading water and diving. Minnows (Intermediate) Swimmers should be able to swim the length of the pool without a float. Students will learn and/or refine freestyle (including rotary breathing), breaststroke, backstroke, sidestroke, and diving. TEEN & ADULT LESSONS (15 years and older) The Adult & Teen Program is a learn-to-swim program for those with minimal swimming ability. Participants will learn the freestyle, elementary backstroke, and breaststroke, as well as floating and treading water. We recommend the Master Swim practices, private lessons, or aquatic group personal training for those seeking stroke development and/or fitness. We are now scheduling teens and adults privately. If a lesson is canceled due to inclement weather or a holiday for which the Y closes, it will be made up. Typically, weekday make-up lessons will be held at the same class time on a Friday, and Saturday make-up lessons will be held on Sunday afternoon. If you miss your lesson due to illness or emergency, you can request credit towards a future session of lessons. You may also be able to make up the missed lesson during your session by attending the same level class on another day or time if there is room check with the swim lesson coordinator. A minimum of three registered participants is necessary to hold a class. Classes with 1 or 2 participants may be combined with other classes, shortened, converted to private lessons, or canceled and refunded at our discretion. Participants must be registered at least 3 days prior to the start of class. Late registration requires an additional $5 fee and the express permission of the swim lesson coordinator. Registration the day of a lesson may be denied and/or charged a $10 late fee. Participants who register for multiple sessions will pay full price for the first session and get 10% off the following sessions. Registration forms are available online at /swimlessons

5 Hamilton Family YMCA Private Swim Lessons These lessons are available for any age and skill level. They offer more scheduling flexibility and can focus on specific areas if desired (e.g. diving, one particular stroke, etc). All private lessons are by appointment and last 30 minutes. Registration is required. Please indicate your preferred lesson day and time if you have schedule restrictions. A swim instructor will contact you to schedule your lessons once the form has been received.
