YMCAs have been teaching people to swim for more than a century. In YMCA aquatics programs, children learn to be safe around water and they feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning something new. Youth progressive swimming uses a problem-solving, guided-discovery teaching approach in a positive, caring environment. Kids can develop lifelong skills that can help them stay healthy.

The Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA offers special classes to help children and families learn how to be safer in and around water, including YMCA Splash. YSplash is an aquatics orientation and safety program providing instruction on swimming skills and basic water safety, offered to youth  ages 3-10. The five day event offers water familiarization, swim lessons, pool games, contests and parent education sessions, free to YMCA members, and $1/a session for non-members.

Whether you are a member of the Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA or not, you can enjoy any swim classes for all ages and all levels.  For more information please contact 815.535.9622.
