YWCA sets ‘Summer Mini’ swim classes

YWCA of Van Wert County news

The YWCA of Van Wert County is now accepting registration for its “Summer Mini” swim lesson session.  The four-week session begins July 8 and runs through August 1. Classes are held two times per week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Call for specific class times.

The YWCA offers two basic youth swim programs: Preschool Swim Program and Learn-to-Swim Program.

The Preschool Swim Program works with children 3-5 years old teaching them the basic water propulsive skills, creating awareness of their aquatic environment and working on gaining their greater aquatic independence. The YWCA also offers a Parent-Child class for younger children 6 months to 2 years old. These classes are 30 minutes long.  Class fee is $36.

The Learn-to-Swim Program begins at Level 1, helping participants feel comfortable in the water and works up through Level 6, which refines strokes and teaches participants to swim with ease, efficiency, power and smoothness over great distances. These classes are 45 minutes long. Class fee is $50.
