Preschoolers enrolled in the Sewickley Valley YMCA child care program can enhance their daily routine with swim lessons. With access to swimming instruction, preschoolers can gain confidence in the water while having fun. Swim lessons are a great way for preschoolers to stay active, healthy, and engaged.
Students must be potty trained and able to help themselves get dressed for swimming.
Choose the right swim level for your child with our swim lesson selector. If you need assistance, or have questions about upcoming swim lesson availability, contact our helpful aquatic staff.
