YW taking swim lesson registrations

YWCA information

The YWCA of Van Wert County is now accepting registration for its fall swim lesson session. The eight-week session begins September 25 and runs through November 15. Classes are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

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

The Red Cross 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 fees for this four-week program are $28 for members. Class fees for non-members are $36.
