Group Lessons
The Bethlehem YMCA offers a progressive swim program. This means that every level in the program is a building block with vital skills and development requirements for the next level. The YMCA wants your children to progress and mature at their own rate. Parents must be aware that not all children progress at the same rate. Please assist us in making your children aware that this is not due to failure. Some individuals need more work in specific areas than others.

Instruction is caring and personalized. A variety of classes are available to meet your family's needs: morning, afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays. Class size is determined by considering safety factors and the age of the participants, making sure classes don't get too big to be comfortable. We understand that you may miss one class due to vacation, therefore, the price is pro-rated to reflect 5 lessons.

Parents are encouraged to watch each lesson from the observation area, provided they are not causing a distraction.
