YMCA Swim Lessons YMCA swimming lessons provide children with essential skills to
be safe in and around water. In addition to building character and
self-confidence, children learn about leadership, safety and rescue
skills, and water activities. These important survival skills allow
parents and children to enjoy a lifetime of both fun and healthy
activity at pools, beaches and water parks. Swimming is also an
ideal exercise for Baby Boomers and other older adults who want
to maintain their fitness, but may need to give up high-impact or
repetitive-motion activities such as running, cycling and aerobics.
For more information about YMCA swim lessons or aquatic programs,
check out our current program brochure for current offerings! The Strong Kids Campaign helps us reach out to children and families who would otherwise be unable to participate in our values-filled programs. Y activities help children develop valuable skills, gain confidence, and build self-esteem. By contributing to the Strong Kids Campaign, you can help us teach these young people such important values as caring, honesty, respect & responsibility. It's a great way to improve Rochester's standard of living, learning, and thriving. To give your time, treasure, or talent, please contact Brenda at 287-2260 ext. 305 or email: BrendaK@rochfamy.org.
