For infants/toddlers and children up to 3 years old.  Adults accompany children in the water as their own instructors with guidance from an aquatics professional either on the deck or socially distanced in the water. Children are introduced to the aquatic environment through exploration and are encouraged to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.  More experienced children will explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.

For children aged 3-6 with little to some experience in the water but not yet able to swim or float without assistance.  Instructors assist children in the pool while they develop comfort with underwater exploration and basic safety skills as well as basic swimming skills like body positions, breath control, and basic movement through the water using the swim-float-swim skillset when they are ready.

We are excited to offer adaptive swim lessons for individuals with learning or developmental disabilities!  Small group, private and semi-private swim lessons will be offered.  Our instructors are certified as Swim Whisperers through Swim Angelfish and will help work through the 14 roadblocks that individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, Anxiety, Motor/assist, sensory delays, or other developmental or physical disabilities typically face around water.  We want to help children become more independent and confident around the water and give every child the space and environment to learn how to swim and achieve their goals.  Group lessons will be offered to preschool age children and youth.  Private lessons will be offered to individuals as well upon request limited space.  Please e-mail Alec Decato at adecato@graniteymca.org for more information.

This is a great opportunity to train with like-minded swimmers and to challenge each other, get a great workout, and have fun!
