Confidence in the Water
According to the CDC more children ages 1 - 4 die from drowning than any other cause of death except birth defects. For children ages 1 - 14, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury or death. We want kids to LOVE the WATER and for parents to feel confident about their kids being in the water. We build confidence! We believe the ability to swim is a critical life skill and we take it very seriously.
We use a variety of fun methods to help children overcome fear, build confidence in the water, and develop skills that last a lifetime! Classes are divided by age and ability where our coaches emphasize personal safety, swimming skills, endurance and social skills guided with praise and encouragement.
The YMCA teaches more swim lessons across the nation for kids and families than any other organization! Thank you for choosing and trusting the Abilene YMCA to teach your kids how to swim and love water!
